Air is the great carrier and a motivator. It brings oxygene to the blood, it transmits the heat of the sun. Its lightness and energy bring stimulation to plants making them grow strong, it whips up the water and blows away the clouds. Air brings us scents and odours, sounds and warnings. It feeds the fire and carries the smoke away, it is the bubbles in champagne and the white in the surf.
Air can change direction in a flash and change again just as quickly.
You'll never tie it down, never even get a grasp of it. But if the gap is big then air rushes in - as the heat of the day pushes some air upwards, so great wadges of cooler air rush in to take its place. Wind can be felt, wind brings heat and cold, it bears the water vapour as clouds and it brings the rain - driving it into the smallest crook or cranny. Wind turns our windmills, fills our sails, energy you can rely upon - well not quite. Our heat and our light, fire is the beacon and the hearth.
