Hello, Paolo. My students and I love your books.
When life suffocates,..try to get out of the room and feel the air,..and the wind shall change your mood. It gently erases eerie feelings.
We experienced living near the sea,..as we move from one place to another due to work assignments,..and there is no such feeling as being re-charged of one’s strength to face the world after immersing yourself in sea waters and enjoying sea wind!!

The winds are very strong entitys.They transport sound,seeds,etc.They bring cold and warm wether.I remember that grandmother had in Romania for the northwind the name Crivatul(she feard him),the westnwind name was Austrul,I think the easten was Baltaretul and suden i forgot it.Important for me as a child was the feelig what she gave to me when she spoke about them :very respectful like she spoke about high personalitys.

“What do you associate with the Winds?”

Indigestion?

As a child the wind carried the smell of the Sea for me. It was the dinner bell as the smell of food floated softly down the hill to where I would play outside. A gust of wind would bring the heat closer as when I would sit near an open fire. It is a magic catalyst that intensifies everything around it.

;Se teu-es brilhante com as obras de
arte que tu escreve tu és brilhanre
na maneira de ver a lus que te ilumina
e te mostra a verdade.E segue teus sonhos
como o brilho dos teus olhos au selencio
de o brotar de uma rosa.

oi, acabei de ler uma entrevista sua e levantei da cama (agora são 21:49 hrs, em BH)para descobrir mais sobre você.Eu confesso que , apesar da entrevista ser sobre o seu novo livro,o que motivou a minha pesquisa foi ter lido ” sou mais dependende da internet do que eu assumo” … acho engraçado como pequenas coisas despertam nosso interesse.Comecei aprocurar um blog, e achei este em inglês … posso comentar em português ?? Penso que assim é mais espontâneo.Acho que a curiosidade vai me trazer aqui mais vezes …

wind is cleansing…open vast and filled with
tumultous turns…winds are about air power
vs gravitational earth secutity. Going with the flow and leaving the known to be swept ready or not by the power of force! Like spirituality,dreams and passion.

Winds whisper the memories of past years, and most often, when they blow ever so softly during afternoons when the Sun is just about to set, my heart aches for long ago, to the time of my childhood, of wide horizons and carefree days.

I associate wind with the ultimate love and wisdom. All the words of wisdom and love have already been said infinite times on earth and the words are still carried around by the wind. Our consious mind does not recognize them anymore but unconsious still hears and understands them. The stronger the wind is the more concentrated the wisdom and love are. Hence, the harder the wind the more I enjoy it.

I was looking at the trees I can see from my opened window one night. I felt like talking to them, so I concentrated on one at each time, said hello and the wind made them wave back at me. So I suppose wind is like the voice of the world. How ever mute or loud, and even if we can’t hear it, we can read its language through movement.

Wind is also like time, you can’t see it, but you can see the causes of its touch. Wind is like the neverending movement that keeps the universe going. The energy of creation. Life force. Then what keeps the wind moving? Magnetism, I suppose.

I associate wind with Tara – Buddha of wisdom and compassion. She is very swift in her actions, like wind. She always helps very quickly whenever I turn to her. She is a Mother, or maybe it is better to say she is one of the many manifestations of the Great Mother. The Great Mother manifested herself for me in a form of Buddha Tara. The compassion of the mother for her child is so great that she immediately responds to the cry. She can not bear a thought of her child suffering. Her action will be swift like the wind to take away any pain.

Acho que estarei eternamente em busca do prazer em qualquer tipo de trabalho que esteja fazendo, já que eu não posso trabalhar naquilo que mais tenho prazer que é o palco. A procura do prazer em qualquer área que esteja atuando é muito prazeroso pois os desafios diários deixam-me exitada!

Gyspy winds whisper fortunes, breathing into the landscape so that it dances the dance of life or marching ashore like Katrina bringing the black procession.

Wind is a force; Its only constant, change.

Forgive me for digressing somewhat from the specific subject at hand, but I would really appreciate some views and opinions on an observation that I have made. While we are repeatedly told to think positively, to visualize our desires and in general to assume that our wishes will be granted, I have personally not found these techniques to work for me. Specifically, it is when I imagine the worst, and when I am worried or pessimistic about an outcome that all turns out quite well. I have used this technique all my life and achieved quite a bit of success. Has anyone else made this observation ?. Again, any views and opinions would be very much appreciated.

Best regards from Malta

The enveloping wind is for me a source of wonder and comfort I don’t anticipate or fear it just have a complete respect for it’s mighty powers, I love the sounds, movement and energy of it I like the vulnerability of being encircled by it, the cold winter chills the warm spring breezes the hot summer blows and all it’s other hues
Born out of genesis this captive energy has been roaming the earth ever since reveling the sounds of past and present, the whispers of birth the pleas and laughs of countless generations.
The winds bring the echoes of times to our reality and if we listen attentively we can hear the rushing of the first waters grooving the earth forming the rivers and seas we can hear the sound of the first light exploding into existence.In constant transformation and evolution the wind never dies just merges and renew earths energies ,like a breath to a heart beat.
In perpetual movement this movers and shakers in nature are the guardians of the invisible world where all possibilities are a reality .
It is a merciless implacable force but I love the wind ,it’s ever present in my life, just same days again I was whirled all night in winds up to 120 klmh which unfortunately brought the death of one of my peacocks, such is the price of our existence.

voice. or simply words. several years ago, i had a spiritual dream. the voice said ‘do you believe in God?’ before answering, i opened my eyes because i felt wind on my right ear. very soft wind though. like whispering. so i associate wind with voice. also i am taking voice training now. before singing, i have to practice breath control. i feel like i am in harmony with air while doing so.

My family travels a lot,one summer my mother told me to closed the car window, i heard my uncle stop her and said to her let her be and told my mother how he wished he can read my thoughts. I remember i like to feel the wind in my face and think of all the story my grandfather told me. Twice i experienced a typhoon,all my friends were praying that it will stop. Believe it or not i felt excited when i heard its powerful whistle and thunders. And i like to think of myself like a bamboo wristling with the wind.

wind ist ein treibende Kraft ein Chaos und gleich ein gegenmitel zu Chaos.
Ein Paradoxom und dadrin liegt die essenziele in unserem Leben Alles was uns in erste Linie als Paradox erscheint ist das was uns ausmacht.
Der wind ist ein Paradox. Physikalisch gesehen ein Versuch der Natur zwischen unterschiedliche Kräfte ausgleich zu schaffen, jedoch in unsere Seele ein stillende Mutter , ein Kraftstofftank ,scheinbar alles hinwerfend, vernischtend dennnoch was gutes schafft.

The wind moves us to change
it can bring great Flux into our lives or leave us speechless in it’s power to move things along as it should…..
When i Hear the wind—it makes me feel safe- strange huh? It makes me think that everything is happening as it should be…….
I associate the wind with God moving things around ….and He has many reasons – we will never know about…To me The Wind is like a Thunderstorm, I feel safe in knowing that God and Our Universe have important things to say- Mother Nature knows best!!!!!

Like Sabreena, I too associate the wind with childhood memories, and most recently as the co-creator with the power I also have. When I loudly requested that a change be made, a windstorm, a rogue gust of winds beat on the branches of the trees out the window that I was looking upon at 3 am one morning. It was as if to answer and transform the very thing I asked to have changed. I could almost say that I evoked the winds to alter this particular outcome in my favor! While some could say ‘that’s nuts!” I have captured the memory in my minds eye as if it were the truth, and I believe it! Since then, whenever I pray, or make a request or have a conversation requiring an answer, I’ll see the presence of the wind, through tall grasses or waves on a lake or always through the leaves of flowers and tree brances, and I know that I’ve been heard and answered.

To me the wind is what brings changing seasons and emotions…everything positive… :) I think it takes away all worries and heart-ache, and the feeling of being ‘stuck’ that one feels from time-to-time… It reminds us that there’s something greater, something that’ll help see life afresh… that it just requires a little something to shake it all up … a gush of wind does that; always makes me happy, in the middle of no-matter-what… even if just for a moment… :)
