Where the Wind Takes You

3/10/2025

0 Comments

 
The wind moves without hesitation. It does not ask if you are ready. It does not slow for those who resist. It carves the land, bends the trees, reshapes the world in its passing. And if you stand against it, it will break you.

But if you let go—if you surrender to its rhythm—you might find that it carries you somewhere new.

The house in Weather the Storm does not fight the storm. It leans, caught in the shifting tide of air and time. It is not defeated. It is learning. It is listening. The waves beneath it rise and fall, not of water, but of movement, of change, of the unseen currents that shape all things.

And beyond it all, the sun burns at the horizon—not as an ending, but as a threshold. A quiet knowing. The storm does not erase. It reveals. It strips away what is rigid and leaves only what is willing to move and grow.

The moon watches from its place in the sky, distant and calm, understanding that nothing stays the same.

The wind will come. It always does. But what if, instead of bracing against it, you let it lift you?

What if you allowed yourself to be carried forward?
