I woke up to the sound of the wind rustling the palm trees. I thought the storm had already started, but, no, the sun was glistening in all its glory. Crazy wind…the one thing that’ll always get me restless…ready to go… The coffee started grunting soon and the scent filled the house. At least the sound of the darn wind was gone for a while…
Usually when winds like this blow, the water just disappears…terrible thing! The thought pulled me on my feet and to the porch, to check! Much to my surprise, the boat was still there only because it had been well tied to whatever was left of the pier…the wind was trying to snatch it. The water rose so much last night that the boat was happily residing on top of the pier…Now that’s a first! Someone told me, when the waters left in the spring, that when the wind blows from the south, or was it from the north?…I can’t remember, but, anyway, all this business with the waters is the wind’s doing! I wonder if the fish come too…do they get blown in like that as well? Better get my frying pan ready…
But now the question is “how do I harness the wind?”… surely others have tried it before…I wonder if anyone succeeded…I really need some sleep, and it’s either stopping the wind or cutting down the palm trees! I’d hate to cut the trees, though…but if enough days go by, my brain will know no reason anymore…so I better hide the saw. Thank God I don’t own an axe! My neighborhood would be bare by now!
Mother Nature sure is crazy sometimes! However, I feel like through the craziness we are able to find the inner peace that has been inside us all along.
