The Winds of Change
By Christopher Blume
9/15/2010


Wind, what a blistery mystery. It never blows the same way twice.

Wind starts as a soppy springtime swirl and changes to a scorching summer dust cloud, followed up by a feel-good fall breeze and ending with a piercing winter blast.

Have you ever seen wind so strange it snows upwards? Or so deadly and devastating it destroys entire cities. Yet so gentle & refreshing like a cool current on a hot day.

What will the wind whirl your way. Floral perfume worn by newfound love? Danger like a butterfly blown into a spider's web?

Embrace the wind as it combs through your hair. Chase a fluttering leaf or catch a snowflake on your tongue. Smell the wind right before that snowfall and absorb the electricity. For without these things, life would grow stagnant and stale.
