Beautiful post, Natalie. I have a whole weird relationship with the wind. In Ayurveda, it is Vata dosha where the wind can become unbalanced in our physical body. Years ago when I struggled with a chronic illness, I couldn't tolerate any air movement - an air conditioner, ceiling fan, etc.- could bring me to tears. An Ayurvedic practitioner said I had too much of the air/wind element trapped in my body. I've had tornado nightmares my entire life. You write about this element beautifully. If only these bizarre weather events were truly Mother Nature's doing and not manmade via geoengineering, I might be more apt to flow with it. The wind has become very strange - intense and prolonged - and always follows a day of chemtrails. But, that's a subject for another day!
Feeling all this wild energy this week an dithering about how to harness it. Most days I have given up and just gone for a walk. Sometimes thats enough.
I love this post. I also struggle with strong winds, but find the only way through is to embrace it. The air element at it's loudest, making it's presence known. Reminding us to breathe. You've made me want to go out and dance in the wild wind :)
I love this Natalie. Sometimes the big things feel so overwhelming. Maybe dancing with them, rooted in tree's strength, is the best way to weather the storms.

Thank you Natalie. I not only want to relax with the turbulence in my life but want to paint all of the images you conjure up in this writing.
