" I cannot change the direction of the wind, but I can adjust my sails to always reach my destination."
-Jimmy Dean
This week, the gorge winds are blowing at our rural home in Camas, Washington. We enjoy the watching the tree limbs dance and listening to the tones of wind chimes as gusts swirl across the landscape. While we cannot actually see the wind, it always lets us know when it passes through. And, it generally carries a welcome reminder about expectations and resilience.
Lovely post, Debb. Reminded me of the old Irish blessing, which I've always loved:
May the road rise up to meet you. May the wind always be at your back. May the sun shine warm upon your face, and rains fall soft upon your fields.

Sounds like the wind is howling pretty hard. The chimes sound like church bells. Wishing you and family a great Weds.

Hi Kathy Streib - it's about 8 - 9 feet. I too like Nina's comment.
I love that quote Nina Hollander - one of my favorites. Thank you.
Hi Sharon Lee - the Church of Nature. ;)

Hello Debb and Bernie - almost poetic as is the comment by Nina Hollander. Just like the wind itself.

HI Debb Janes EcoBroker and Bernie Stea JD - What a lovely quote that really has a powerful message to it. My husband owed a 18 foot Hobie Cat and I remember what we had to do when the wind changed. It is a great metaphor.

Debb,
Love the"church of Nature". Last time we were at Woeste's it was windy and there big old chimes were making music. I love the wind, and we had had quite a bit of it. A

Such beauty! Wind is a powerful force and even though we cannot see it, we definitely see and hear the affects that it has on the world around us.

Thanks all, we are traveling at the moment. I’d rather use my time to come comment on your posts. Thank again for you visit and kind comments.
Adjusting our sails is a huge part of navigating this thing called life, isn't it Debb?
