"When the Breeze Shoots Back"
Have you ever been outside as the wind slowly dances around all that lay before you? It is almost like the breeze is a whisper of things to come. It is no wonder why the wind is such a key element in both literal and figurative language.Countless phrases such as "the winds of change" and "chasing the wind" hint at this invisible, but ever so present phenomenon. The breeze was the very life blood of global exploration.For without it, even the mightiest of vessels in any armada would be found utterly useless, left to merely sulk in the waves. I personally feel that when the wind blows, it means something is wayward to meet us. But I also feel that we as humanity have either chased the wind or shot the breeze out of context, both rendering us stuck in the muck and mire. Allow me to expound. It seems that our dreams are these "just out of reach" scenarios that we feel we must constantly be running towards i.e. chasing the wind. We feel that if we could just do what we love, we would be happy. Even other aspects such as having social lives,sleep,money, and pleasure are embodied in this whimsical breeze of desire. On the other hand, some take the exact opposite approach. Rather than chasing the wind, some will just "shoot the breeze" and let life just "happen". Make no mistake, if any of us merely "shoot the breeze" for too long, that breeze is obligated by the very laws of nature to shoot back,and rest assured, the consequences will be dire. Both of these schools of thought are flawed. If one exclusively chases the wind of happiness through pleasure, people, or even purpose, then the lessons learned through the every day "mundane" moments will be negated(even though no moment is mundane if treated as irreplaceable).With the same token, just "hangin out" and doing nothing with what was placed inside of us is flawed as well.There is no shame in resting our souls which are bound to be tired. But a constant "ready, aim and fire" at the breeze of a well rested frame of mind is a ticking time bomb(with only seconds to spare). In all truth, we should not be chasing nor shooting. The only thing to do is to seek... and we will find the maker of the wind, the designer of our destiny, and the lover of our souls. Find the constant one, whom is the Lord our God, and all these other things shall fall together.God is the only constant, pure, and holy fulfillment in this life.Seek the constant one, and he will constantly be one with you. Only when this happens will things fall,not apart, but together.
