When the wind howls on a snowy day, or the waves blow crashing across the dunes during a hurricane, there will be spectators. As the swirling terror of a tornado rips through the heart of the country. Like someone blustering loudly for all who will listen.

There will be spectators.

When those winds of a rant or blustery occasion subside, there will be debris left behind for others to clean up. There will be property damage and human scares left in the wake of the storm.

There will be spectators.

A thundering wind does not care what havoc occurs in its path nor does it mind what debris are left behind. All it cares is to blow hard across the landscape, to hear its own self.

And of course, to have spectators.

All of us are drawn to the spectacle a blustery wind storm creates. Yet the hollow shouts of excited enthusiasm are drowned out by the bellowing of the wind. But then the stage is cleared, calm returns.

And the spectators will leave.

Stay inspired my friends!
