Blow Ye Winds Blow

Just a little warmer, these winds from the SW. Wind that has lost its sting of cold. The desire to be outside. The thrilling energy of spring. The stirring of birth. So much written before me, I cannot compete. But I will say for those caught in our technicolour and high tech world, where thrills are digital and all encompassing and possibly more exciting, this thrill of spring showing her hand is as good. Mind you, having had a winter of comparative gentle ease and semi hibernatory, the contrast is stronger and greater. The urge to be out in it is absolutely infectious. The desire to do, to make, to use ones hands.
I just would like to be here and local. I shall find ways to do so. 
Just today I worked with out gloves. How good it felt to feel the wood of the logs without being covered in ice. How good it felt to feel the wind through my shirt, infecting my skin with that spirit of divine discontent. Another's words, but so eloquently put. The winter feeling of being wrapped in a blanket of snow, snug within my cabin, creating cabin fever now lifting as the SW wind brings a bursting forth of energy.
Now I am upon the land, but it would happen after the winter in some port. those first warm breezes, awaking ancient knowing. Wintering over. A time to sit and read and plan and dream of new oceans to sail upon. Fair winds to carry you over the next horizon with a bone in her teeth. Sails white against the blue of sky and sea. The dip and dance, the lifting of a wave moving under your keel, encouraging your passage. Lands new to your eyes, to be explored as if you were the only one to have discovered them. New friends, new ways, new ideas, restless dreams. 
I have often wondered how to replace the thrill of the digital world with that of the natural one. Tell a youngster as he stabs at the buttons of his gameboy, that the feeling of spring is as exciting as winning in his screened racing car. He will look at me as if I am half mad. 
Right now my heart longs for more  of this grand awakening at the same time of wanting others to awaken to the idea of living simply to simply live.
