Wind in the Woods

I am once again spending the weekend working respite at the winter location of CGT and this weekend's theme is The Wizard of Oz. Quite fittingly, it's been incredibly windy since yesterday around dinner time. I haven't been paying much attention to it and it has remained only a minor annoyance.

Tonight I was walking from cabin to cabin and the sound of the wind caught me off guard. It was so loud as it blew through the trees. Yet where I stopped and stood for a minute, I couldn't feel the wind at all. It made me wonder about all the other things that move through the trees that we never see or feel.

But next time you're outside and feel a gust of wind, take a moment to listen. And marvel at how something that is made of nothing more than air can have such presence. Just another of nature's wonders...
