Windy days are tailored days, specially suited to a handful of things, and no matter how hard you try you can’t make the others fit.

            Kites fly high on a windy day. Trees weave and sway back and forth on a windy day. Leaves flutter like bird wings on a windy day, and through it all there’s the song of the wind. Whether you hear a voice, or an instrument, you hear a song. Rising to a roar, falling to a whisper, it howls and hums, shaking your sturdy home and rattling where it can.

            It’s not a good day for a hike, when everything you wear tries to take flight. The water slaps a bit too high, and tries to roll right over your head. And any course you steer wanders off, no matter which way the wind is blowing.
