Harness the Wind

Yesterday Frank and I drove to Chicago and when we were driving by the wind farm in Northern Indiana I thought those tremendous, turning turbines seemed to me the most peaceful things in the world. I felt like everything was quiet as I looked at them even though nothing had changed.

Tonight Frank and I drove back from Chicago and when we were driving we saw a vast area of land that went on for a very long time with red lights that flashed in unison. It was the wind farm at night. It was mesmerizing. It seemed to be timed with the music we were listening to. The song, unbeknown to us at the time because it was on my shuffle, was "Shine On" by ATB. It was beautiful and it made the quiet just like the first time.
