Beauty in the wind...

Today, the power flickered and our DirectTV signal went out for a bit, most likely due to the very strong winds we were having. And it made me think... we have all this technology around us all the time... televisions, computers, cell phones, game consoles... we dedicate our time to them so much. Yet, when that power flickered and the wind howled, I heard something... like a whisper reminding me that world is so much bigger, and if we dedicate too much of our time to technology, we might miss the natural beauty all around us! When did the sun and the sky become things we only see when walking between buildings and cars? When did the complex design of a tree become something we overlook because there's something on TV? When did the wind become something we only remember when the DirectTV signal breaks? A small part of me thinks the wind did it on purpose...

Just kidding. I hate it when people really talk like that. Gimme a break. :-P

I especially hate it when people write like that and act totally different in person... at least be consistent!
