in response to wind:

well, the posterous site for our sun/sky dialogue has been going really well. if you haven't, take a moment to see it here.

in the meantime, this is what i said in response to cameron's windy day post:

i like windy days. particularly when they are a warm wind and i'm perched up in a tree listening to the cadence of its sway.

one of my favorite childhood memories by myself was when a storm was brewing and i went out to the "twin trees" that was basically this tree with several thinnish trunks jutting up fairly parallel into the sky. you could shimmy between the two trunks and use both sets of branches to get up really high. so i just climbed as far as i could go and then stood there in the middle of the leaf symphony under a grey and brooding sky. it was one of those lonely moments when you don't actually want someone else's company, just the feeling that if someone else were there it would be easier to ignore the weight of existing. the weight of silence and expectation.

i stayed up there as long as i could stand the feeling, then climbed back down into the warm light and busy clatter of a house of four kids.

i was maybe 9 at the time.
