What people talk about

I think that as an older adult you talk about your life and your wisdom;
As an adult you talk about what you think about a lot;
As an adolescent and a young adult you talk about what you observe;
And as a child, you talk about all of those things.

-- SC, lost in thought this morning over breakfast, age 7

Where does the wind blow?

Where does the wind blow?
Neither you nor you know
But I know

The wind blows to where
the sick person rests, the tired person sleeps,
the happy person dances, the sad person weeps

Where does the wind blow?
Neither you nor you know
But I know.
