Chasing after the Wind

Ecclesiastes 2:16-26

The azalea leaves are hardly fluttering but the limbs of the willow tree swaying back and forth. almost playing a game with the magnolia giving evidence of a gusty wind. Wind that invisible force that can gently evaporate a pool or forcefully flatten a house. Tom and Stephen used to enjoy going to London. For them one of the highlights was walking through St James Park. In fall the sides of the paths were almost knee-deep, if you were 4 or years old as they were, in fallen russet crunchy leaves. The wind would blow down the avenue of trees picking up a few leaves and causing a flurry of airborne 'fairies' just asking to be chased. We might not have been chasing tha actual wind but it was certainly the cause of our playtime. Unseen but certain, like God Himself.
