Gone with the Wind

"It's windy tonight" would be an understatement.

It's hit force of nature levels out there. You can't see it or tell when the next big gust is going to strike, but it does. And it roooaars through my crazy hair.

It's one of those evenings where if it wasn't for this wind, it wouldn't be too cold. And it's nights like this that I walk the long way to my car.

There's an excitement in this wind. Change is in the air. The sound of the howl is haunting, almost aching as it penetrates your core. So I slow down my steps and take it in as it steals my breath. It's as though the night is so full with pent up potential energy that it was to escape somehow.

You can't deny it. You can't stop it. So I brace myself against the brick pavement, savoring the adventure in the moment, and smile as I lean into this ferocious wind.

Change in the air.
