Grateful for a Soft Breeze


There's nothing like the feeling of a soft breeze on a summer's day. The smell of fresh air as it gently flows past, fills the space with its lightness of being. It is as if a cleansing wave has surrounded all that it touches, indoors or out.

"Oh there is blessing in this gentle breeze,
A visitant that while it fans my cheek
Doth seem half conscious of the joy it brings
From the green fields, and from yon azure sky.
What e'er its mission, the soft breeze can come
To none more grateful than to me; escaped
From the vast city, where I long had pined
A discontented sojourner: now free,
Free as a bird to settle where I will." 
~ William Wordsworth, from The Prelude
