I am Wind

I am exciting, moody, powerful, invisible but felt, changeable, strong, unpredictable, a catalyst for fire and for change, mysterious, eerie, frightening, graceful; I am the air you breathe. I make leaves dance, I destroy, I soothe, I calm, I bring on rain, I sway, I whip, I cool / neutralize heat, I go through cracks, I carry beautiful scents and aromas, I stir, I cause tornadoes, I ignite fire, I kindle fire, I kill weak fire, I carry sound; too much of me kills and hurts the lungs; I let birds fly, I let kites and airplanes fly.

I am Wind.

For the next thirty days, this is my mantra. My changeable and unpredictable nature resembles the wind most of the time. I do not make plans. I do things at the drop of a hat. I change course when I like. I do things according to my moods. That makes me unstable, too. But then again, I am powerful, strong enough to control that instability. That is really up to me. I have so much power and potential in me that I am capable of building or destroying. It is really up to me to choose.

I am Wind.

I can shape the destiny of things. I can influence the weather, the direction the leaves sway or the dancing of the mighty trees. I influence the movement of the waters, the direction of sailboats, the ease or difficulty with which the pilot steers his aircraft, whether a small child hurts his hands from keeping control of his powerful kite or for that same child to enjoy its gentle gliding. I even help in reproduction, when I blow seeds into the direction of good soil. If I blow too much, I could break a beautiful butterfly's wings or the frail limbs of a baby bird.

I am Wind.

I could be gentle like a lover caressing his beloved's cheek or be ruthless like a raging storm. My power lies in my ability to control that rage. I look to my Master for orders. I look to Him for help. Though I know I am wind, I do not know what is expected of me. Should I be the bearer of beautiful sound or should I be the bringer of rain? Should I put out tiny sparks or do I ignite huge fires? Should I help steer sailboats or should I discourage adventures? Do I help build sand castles or do I destroy mighty fortresses?

I am Wind. I do as the Great One bids.
