the shapes of all things

Lotta at Hof Butenland Farm Sanctuary

... the wind has its reasons. We just don't notice as we go about our lives. But then, at some point, we are made to notice. The wind envelops you with a certain purpose in mind, and it rocks you. 

The wind knows everything that's inside you. 

And not just the wind. Everything, including a stone. They all know us very well. From top to bottom. 

It only occurs to us at certain times. And all we can do is go with those things. As we take them in, we survive, and deepen.


—Haruki Murakami
Hear the Wind Sing, excerpt

... while I stood there I saw more than I can tell and I understood more than I saw; for I was seeing in a manner the shapes of all things as they must live together like one being.
