Topic of Choosing 3 - The Wind

I have reflected earlier on sacred as an individual idea and I found that certain topics can be sacred to me alone and no one else. An aspect of nature I have always viewed as sacred and special to me has been the wind. Wind seems to many as a natural occurrence but I feel that at times it actually speaks to me. I have experienced the wind blowing over my body during times of meditation and prayer and felt as if it was God letting me know that he was listening. I have always enjoyed the physical feeling that the wind provides to me in the sense of touch. I also felt as though the wind talked to me through the vision of trees rustling and leaves blowing across my path. A unique smell has also been present at times and last but not least is the sound to my ears of hearing it whip around.

The wind has meant much to me usually during solitude outside, when all is quiet and all is still. When the wind is the only thing I feel that is surrounding me and bombarding my senses, I feel an unusual sense of peace and serenity, especially during meditation. It is sacred in the sense of the way it makes me feel and also the message it gives to me.
