Day 4 - 281 -- Windy World

Overnight rain fell in spurts. There were further sharp showers throughout the day. Accompanying the rain was major wind. All of this is blowing in from the south -- Nate pushing things northward. We are expecting more rain when the remnants of Nate flow through -- likely Tuesday. Until then, the humidity will be high and temperatures warmer than seasonal norms. Overnight lows are higher than daytime highs of the past week.

Wind and rain bring changes. They blow leaves and branches from trees. They mess up hair and remove hats from heads. They can bring a change in weather -- wanted or otherwise. I've often thought that when we are working to make changes in the world or in ourselves, we produce micro-climates of changing winds around us. These, in turn, can affect the climates of those around us -- for good or not so good. One person can push weather towards others, with some more powerful than others. Interesting -- more metaphors to ponder.

A song about the wind is shared today. It is from a singer/songwriter from decades ago, who had a major name change. His songs carry deeper thoughts. Enjoy!
