My Buddy The Wind...

As I look out the window this morning I can see the clouds moving along the skyline and the trees swaying in the wind. The wind is both a blessing and a curse this time of year. It certainly helps to cool things down but it is an added layer of disaster for people fighting fires. 

As I was taking my walk earlier this week I started to really listen to the wind. It sort of kept me company as I continued to make my way up the trail. Maybe it is too much reading of John Muir's adventures again, but I felt like the wind was an actual entity sort of talking with me as I walked along. I wondered if it was a divine voice spurring me on, suggesting that I look around and notice things and to remember to be aware of God's continual presence. A pleasant and comforting idea I think.

Hope everyone has had a good week. Thanks for reading and commenting.
