gentle and soft
every whiff of wind brings a story from its origin
living in a city, we are like monkeys swinging from one concrete tree to another
giving us rare chances of feeling wind blowing in our faces, what a shame
wind is a unsung hero in gaia's power
goes unnoticed until it picks up speed and strength
from the feeling of gentle breeze to a strong chilling gulf
It embraces all parts of us, seeping through our simple protection of clothes, into our skin and sometimes straight to our bones
many things I like about wind and wind's force::
swing - real swing - flying into the sky
I've a swing in my home living room when I was little. I will drag it, push it, get it to face the tv, so I can jingle myself in the air enjoying the show on tv. I even asked my 4th aunt to prick my ears clean on the swing! I would lie on her lap while she sits on the swing and enjoy the ticklish ear pricking session!
when I was older, I get to sit on wooden swing and it brings me over the cloud! I will buy a wooden swing, place it at the backyard of my USA home, swinging under the starlit sky with Darling sitting beside me, using his arm as my head cushion, legs dangling in the air.
wind surfing - riding on the power of wind pushing the water surface to generate waves
until a person tries wind surfing, no amount of description can depict how it feels and I definitely encourage everyone everyone to at least try to ride a wave once in your life! I gave a lot more thanks to gaia's force when I feel it moving, I feel it taking form under my feet. It feels strong and brave and needless to say, the sense of achievement riding on a wind-pushed wave! You feel empowered! Empowered by the simple purest form of energy in this world.
when I get more time, I wanna join a 3days surf school. Trash it out man! Have a hell-load of fun time! I cant imagine myself doing this, but what I can imagine a surf school is bikini babes, hunky guys, sweating and beaming under the gentle sun, smiling to show signs of success when riding a wave, and shout out 'yeahs!' when fallen into the water! And at night, all gather to have bbq and drinks and bring our tired body to rest. The 2nd night, we have seafood dinner and end it off with a full body spa and massage to ease away the aches building up as we tone every single strand of muscle.
I guess the next extension would be snow boarding; this time to feel cold wind on my face. Let's see when I will get to do just that!
Venice
This isn't an activity with wind blowing in my face, but a place. A place better travelled on water taxi on the Grande Canal moving along age old façade with artistically tattered paints and exteriors, extricate windows telling history of the place. With moving around on a water taxi, I fell in love with this windy city - loving the wind more than the water, but not without the water, there will be no wind.
Bali - Kudeta
yet another heavenly retreat to relax your feet after surfing or body surfing. enjoying the scene of the busy stretch of kids body surfing, taking in the trendy beat music, stretching out the body under the tropical sun, hiding under the luxious umbrella shade when too sunny, eating a bit of the bbq sotong, with an occasional people watch in between falling asleep under the sun.
*sweet or sweat!*
