Windy

Wind and rain

that blow my way

whoosh away my

negative day!










I have always loved storms - wind, rain, thunder, lightning

Watching it from a covered porch is awesome!

Opening all the windows and letting it purge the indoor air

makes everything feel refreshed!

I've always been this way, but the more I read up on

empaths and negative energy, the more it's obvious that

there's a reason to like the wind!  I've been highly sensitive

most of my life, without ever really knowing why I have these

feelings, until I started doing more research.  

"As the wind blows through your hair 

and the warm kiss of the sun beams on your face, 

the energy of nature will always make you feel anew."

This is so true, for me, and if you have doubts, step outside on a windy day

and see if that doesn't make you feel better!

Stormin'

“It’s not a bad lesson to learn in the

bleaker months: how you view a storm

is a question of perspective; provided

you find the right rock to watch it from,

it could be the most incredible thing

you’ll ever witness.”

― Dan Stevens







My house sits a half mile from

a freeway that runs east/west

and when something is going down,

it's the freeway that the local helicopters -

news media and police/rescue -

follow to get across the Valley.

Every once in a while, one goes

screaming across the sky

when I'm in the backyard

taking photos..... oopsie!

Storms

“Be peaceful like a mountain. 

Be loving like a flower. 

Be wonderous like thunder.” 

― Debasish Mridha

“You can dance through any storm if thunder is music to your ears.” 

― Matshona Dhliwayo

Blow, Blow, Blow

“When you come out of the storm,

you won’t be the same person

who walked in.

That’s what this storm’s all about.”

― Haruki Murakami, Kafka on the Shore










I love a good thunderstorm,

a rain storm, or even just wind.

When it starts blowing and

there are clouds on the horizon .....

all I want to do is be out there,

to be a part of it!  To be me!

Feeling the power of the wind -

something we can't see,

but we know is part of the Universe -

is amazing to me!

Catch the Wind

“For example, the wind has its reasons. 

We just don't notice as we go about our lives. 

But then, at some point, we are made to notice. 

The wind envelops you with a certain purpose in mind, and it rocks you. 

The wind knows everything that's inside you. 

And not just the wind. Everything, including a stone. 

They all know us very well. From top to bottom. 

It only occurs to us at certain times. 

And all we can do is go with those things. 

As we take them in, we survive, and deepen.” 

― Haruki Murakami, Hear the Wind Sing

I was born during a summer thunderstorm

and I have always liked the wind.

There's just something about the

movement of air, just because.

So I tried to run out and catch some

breeze with my scarf......

Sometimes the ideas in my mind

aren't what appear when I want it to.

Happy Weekend!

Wind

I don't believe in fighting the wind.

You go and you fly with your wind.

Let everyone else catch

their own gusts of wind and

let them fly with their own gusts of wind,

and you go and you fly with yours.”

― C. JoyBell C.










late morning, early morning,
either way,
i think morning
is the best time of day!

Sunlight

“Ô, Sunlight! 

The most precious gold 

to be found on Earth.” 

― Roman Payne

There is nothing like the feel

of warm sunshine against

bare skin.  Add in a light breeze,

and this is close to heaven!

Windy

“Faeries, come take me out of this dull world,

For I would ride with you upon the wind,

Run on the top of the disheveled tide,

And dance upon the mountains 

like a flame.” 

― W.B. Yeats

Like Yeats, have you ever yearned for

some magical faeries to take you away from
the life you have, to make a new one?
We all have dreams of things being different
from time to time, but in reality, would we
take along the self we have already become
and recreate the life we already have?
Just a little introspection today, because yes,
i have pondered some wishes in my life
from time to time.

Wish I'd been smiling.  

And that the dog leash didn't have to be attached to me.  

Sadie and I headed out on a hike this morning; 

the sun was just warming, the breeze was cool, it was a beautiful day! 

and it fed my soul :)

dancing in the rain

For as long
as I can remember,
I have loved storms.
Wind.
Thunder.
Lightning.
Rain.
Sprinkles.
Downpours.

Here in the
Valley of the Sun,
summer is the time
for our monsoons -
rain that swoops in
quickly,
leaves its mark,
and is gone
as quick as it came.

It's never a surprise
to find me outdoors
when it begins,
sometimes
dancing in the rain
in my nightie.

With more
wind than rain,
I dashed outdoors
to capture the moment.
