Wind. You can't see it or touch it, but you can't deny the fact of it either. What if we didn't have a word for wind, hadn't named it? How would we explain spanish moss dancing on the limbs of giant trees, or snow going sideways, or grains of sand just up and…

By the second day, the sun began to melt the snow and we made some new friends.
