Petunia Moon

Some of my purple petunias and a waxing gibbous moon around nine o'clock tonight. The garden is so heady with scent of purple petunias. I'll have to take pictures of them in the daylight.

What does the Wind have to do with Writing?

If I could stand again upon that grassy hill, or out in a field, bare of wheat, I’d summon the wind and listen closely as it sang to me its ancient melodies. The hog-wire fence strung from post to post in a pasture nearby haunts me with its eerie tune, as fickle winds blow this way and that.

If I could stand again next to that giant, wind-torn cedar, clinging to its rocky ledge overlooking the ocean—whipped into a roiling dither by fierce, faraway winds, or stand once more under whispering pines while a gentle breeze sings softly to the shimmering lake it shelters, I’d listen and hum a tune in harmony with its song.

The morning sun touches my soul and fills it with need, my heart with inspiration. The wind, strong and fierce or gentle as a baby’s breath mildly caressing my skin, fills me with the desire to express myself through the magic of storytelling.
