Winds

I love the night cool air. There is a feeling of freedom when i feel the wind blow past me. Tonight i walked to my car and it felt like a thousand foot steps. Amazing how a cool breeze can stop time.

I like the winter time. Temperatures drop the air whirls and the sky maintains the gray color. I love how the air bites at your skin reminding you to cover up. Only in the winter do really get live how we wants. Covering up our flesh hiding all our insecurities, our troubles, our never ending fights to get what is ours. We get to hide behind our layers of protection. and we are all hiding behind our layers everyday. It lets us stay in our head a moment longer than normal. Mulling over minutes of life. That cool air invigorates our brains.
The winter and fall times always makes me reflect. It makes it easier for me to sit around and listen to music. To sit by the window and read a book. To grab a hookah and talk with a friend. The cool air slows life down enough to where we can enjoy ourselves. Enjoy each others presence. Acknowledge everybody's words, bask in their existence.
It lets me live in my brain. To ponder how I am. How am I. How often does anyone ask themselves that question.

The gray sky matches my thoughts. How often do we get left with black or white options, ideas, opinions. everything is a shade of gray and its nice to look up and know we're not the only one. To look up and realize someone out there is someone else thinking about life and living.

I'm really not sure where I'm getting at but thats the point. It's winter time and now is the time to be aimless. to wander. to propose and see where it goes. To meet lost friends. To read old journals. To relive past memories. To remember what it's like. To hope for something more. To know there is always time. To retain there isn't enough time. To listen to stairway to heaven. To ready On the Road. To watch old black and whites movies. To enjoy the holidays. To live because in the end that's all we really can do. Just live. Write the book of your life. Hum the song of your life. To see what is to be your life. It's a wonder that I forget it's MY life and now anyone else's. Rekindle what you can and day dream the rest. The past is who you are and the future is where your going. The moment is the only thing we have. And it's always dieing and being reborn. Take a chance. Look up at the sky and take a step.
