Wind blowing in on one fall morning


On one fall morning, I was strolling down a few blocks from my temporary residence (“What is permanent?”, my mind questioned me even before I finished writing the word ‘temporary’.), a strong wind from the north attacked my face.

I was walking down on the opposite direction of the wind. My eyes closed automatically to shelter from the wind, but the pores in my skins welcomed the wind. Despite the chilling wind, I felt great!

After a few seconds of my skins’ reaction to the wind, I decided to open my eyes and let the air go in. I opened my eyes as wide as I could—looking up, way up, and far beyond. I felt great and I could sense that my eyes were thanking me too!

Then, suddenly, my mind took me to completely different direction—reminding me to Bob Dylan’s lyric: Blowin in The Wind. Here are his heart-touching words

Lyrics

How many roads must a man walk down
Before you call him a man?
How many seas must a white dove sail
Before she sleeps in the sand?
Yes, and how many times must the cannon balls fly
Before they're forever banned?
The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind
The answer is blowin' in the wind

Yes, and how many years can a mountain exist
Before it's washed to the sea?
Yes, and how many years can some people exist
Before they're allowed to be free?
