This morning a little before dawn I woke to the sound of the wind blowing. At first I was thinking how much I disliked the wind especially when it interferes with my biking activities and this type of wind does do that. Yesterday also it kept me indoors for most of the day. However, once I got out of bed today and looked out of the window, I saw the sky and forgot all about the windy wind. This sight greeted my eyes and said "capture me forever". I did.
Now the windy wind day stretches before us and challenges me to say "the heck with you wind, I will be out in your windiness anyway - you will not keep me indoors on this day". Possibly a walk in a forest would be a good thing. Somewhere where the wind will not blow us around too much. Wind in the pine trees is a good sound.
The person I have been married to for over 20 years is drinking coffee and strumming his guitar in the other room. It's a peaceful and soothing sound with the wind outside in accompaniment. He cradles the guitar next to his body, leans over it slightly and plays variations on the handful of chords he has mastered.
I watch out of the ground level window by my desk and see the tough little birds pecking at the bird seed I threw into the brambles for them. They fight over their various patches and occasionally I hear a thunking sound as in their aggressiveness with one another one of them will land against the window. It makes me laugh. They are not flying hard enough to hurt themselves.
