Sitting by the window, I looked over
the waters of the lake and watched spindrift.
The wind was blowing so there was no
shortage of it on this gray day. A slight
chill accompanied the breeze, and the
nearby trees were swaying. Sometimes
they entangled themselves seemingly
made one of two. It was amazing to sit
and watch and every now and then
Spindrift could be seen. It is not every
day that this occurs. I put on a jacket
and began to stroll along the shoreline
hoping to see this wonder up close or
at least closer. The wind picked up and
I wish I had added a sweater to my wardrobe.
One doesn’t always remember the mysteries
of nature. The waves splashed upon the shore,
and I was destined to get wet. I saw several
displays of spindrift and then decided to turn
around and head back to my perch on the deck.
By the time I arrived I was half-frozen, so I did
not linger on the deck but went inside where it
was warmer. It was a great encounter with nature.
I am glad that I made the journey.
