1585. “the wind blows as it wishes…”

 

when i want to know
which way the wind’s a blowin’
i just peek outside 🦊❤️ 

 I have a weather vane of sorts in plain view of my apartment balcony. It is the tall brick smoke stack of the boiler at Chestnut Hill College.  It is a classic structure. The thick plumes of steam that billow sometimes rise undisturbed high into the sky. Other times the plume careens at the wind’s direction the moment it leaves the stack’s opening. The image is one of power and grace. It is also a reminder of the biblical verse, “The wind blows where it wishes…” That’s a good mini lesson in life to start each day off with. 🦊❤️
