This popped into my mailbox with perfect timing. As I sip my morning tea a mile or more from the pacific shore, a sea breeze carrying birdsong billows my curtains and reminds me that, even in tumultuous time, there is wonder.
As I reread it, a few questions arose - how the breeze finds "contemplation" in its play, the unspoken yet resonant "wisdom" carried by birdsong, the silent yet eloquent "music" of flowing water. Nature's teachings ring through without preaching. I appreciate you sharing these reflections and thank you for your work.

Thanks, AM, I appreciate your reflections.
Just a line containing a few words, but what a powerful expression. And, yes! How Could it! If one thinking about it and what the wind in made of.
