Spontaneous Scribblings: 'Unbound'
Give me a soft breeze and a steady, slow drizzle.
I am not walking on concrete.
There is heather underfoot and bilberry juice on my tongue.
The air is sweet.
Give me a high, swirling wind and rain lashing down.
I am not driving with wipers on full.
I stand atop a mountain, rocks beneath my feet.
The wind whips away my laughter.
Give me a warm wind and a bright sun beating down.
I do not stand on cracked farmland.
There is dark, rich peat squelching between my toes.
I run to the loch and plunge into its waters.
Give me a heavy mist - no horizon to be seen.
The east wind does not bite my bones.
I am lost on the hill, snipe drumming all around.
The gurgling stream my guide and companion.
Give me a beam of light, a memory or the wind.
I am not this corporeal, solid body.
I am all things, in all moments, in all places.
I am free.
Sometimes words randomly pop up in my mind as I'm meandering through life. These began to appear during a walk whilst I was enjoying some very Scottish weather in my English home.
These are some beautiful words, really fitting for the picture you chose as well. I can almost smell the rain in the air. Btw, I'm a curator with @ocd and would love to nominate your post.

That conjures up some good memories of being drenched by rain and sleet while out walking in the hills. As for bilberries, or blaeberries as we called them, I was just discussing them with someone yesterday. I used to love picking a handful while out for a walk.
That's lovely to hear that the words conjure up memories for you - thank you! Yes - the b'berries are a treat - blue tongues all round in our family :)
