Sunrise stroll. Breezy. Our world is animated by the wind. This invisible force brings any landscape alive. Its absence casts a stillness. On barren mountain tops, in the forests & at the seas, its presence becomes manifest. A wild & pristine energy.
Reflecting on nature of the wind, we see the inter-connected nature of all things. In awe of the billowing gusts that ripples waters & makes rag-dolls of trees. The beauty of wind is in its dynamism. One minute it lifts a place, the next there’s a lull. In a more rambunctious form, it’s a monster’s roar. Similarly, our energy ebbs & flows. We have moments of high energy & output, other times of rest & renewal.
When it blows, the air tattoos the surface of the canals & lakes. Trees bow as leaves, buds & branches dance to its music. Forests roll around in harmonious circles sending secret signals to the clouds, innocently waving to the skies & stars above.
Often, we see through space. Don’t notice the air as much as the earth, fire or water. Yet, it’s this space that holds everything. Nurturing & allowing all things to just be.
The wind speaks to us through sensations & sounds. Feel its presence through our skin & breath. A soft hug, a gentle caress on the cheek or deep breathing. Brings unique scents & aromas. Love the pause between gales, the stillness, the silence. Feel its firmness & flow. Can we invite this awesome energy into our own lives? Can we be as amazing as the wind – flowing & free? To spread our wings & fly? The wind is an energy that calms our mind, blowing worried thoughts & stressful feelings away. What a mysterious, life-giving phenomenon.
