I ran my normal jog today
Upon a crossing breeze
This peace of Wind stopped on a dime
I leaned against the trees
The Wind then asked "Can I be seen?"
Said "No, but KNOW you're there"
The Wind replied "Are you so sure?"
"Through Faith and not despair"

You might feel the wind, even think you see it. Learning who the Wind was at one point changed my life for the better.
I hope you enjoy. Thomas
