In only a week I forgot how consuming school can be. Which isn't really bad.
The break was oh so nice! I feel much better.
Today was SO windy. I rode my bike to a park today to read and I almost got blown over, literally. It was a little frightening since I was so close to moving vehicles but mostly it was exciting. I was sitting on the less windy side of a big tree and the wind picked up, and it was so amazing. It was coming from all directions and it felt so unlike anything else, it was powerful and helpless. It was a swirl of everything from everywhere all at once.
I like the wind best while sitting. When you are walking, biking, running, or even driving the wind is sometimes just annoying, it stops you and pushes you and makes you appreciate effortless motion. When sitting, it becomes part of you.
I love Lubbock. The wind is everywhere.

You know... the wind is a famous conduit of stories.
Your description is beautiful. I am very excited to come to Tech where the wind is everywhere...
I want to sit and let it surround me and tell me stories.
LOVE
I'm glad that you find beauty in the wind. I think it has been wearing at me for too long, and is telling me to go west or northwest where it isn't as windy, hopefully.
Not to bring your wind experience down or anything. I would just like to bike to and from a destination and not having to fight against the wind. Maybe the wind is symbolic of how we are always fighting something, but we can almost always get through it.
