Things blow in and move out along with winds -- literal and metaphorical things. After a major summer storm, the remnants of some hurricane or other, I saw a painted bunting sitting outside the kitchen window. I tried to describe him to an ornithologist friend, but he wasn't sure what I was describing. Then one day, I saw a photo of a bunting and knew that was the creature I'd seen -- blown in on the hurricane winds. Just like the bunting, our negative feelings and thoughts can blow out on the wind. It is a great analogy for letting things go. Being from Saskatchewan, I understand wind and have never disliked it unless it was a tornado or wicked wedge winds with a summer thunderstorm. Moving to the Maritimes, I've experienced other scary winds -- hurricanes and nor'easters. I like the sound of the wind, just not the breakage of the trees around me.
Lyrics of the song for today relate to the concept of shaking off the negatives -- even if only for a while. The music is upbeat with the unmistakable guitar and voice of the fab singer. Enjoy!
Blow Away -- George Harrison
