The wind blew to the West and I stood with it against my back. It wasn't strong, just a bit over what most would call 'gentle'. I could sense that it was about to change, to shift more towards the North. It wasn't time yet, but the time would be soon.

The sky was mostly clear, a few small puffy white clouds dotted here and there as if some artist felt the clear purple sky wasn't good enough for their rural painting.
The sun shone, birds sang and the grass swayed in the wind. It was very picturesque and I deeply enjoyed the view.

I did not often have time to just stand and enjoy a view. The sands of time were always falling, and my work often needed me to act in that pure moment between one gain and the next. So I took these chances, these moments where I wasn't pressured to act, whenever I could.

I felt the shift, the wind slowing and changing direction. I turned with it, to face more towards the South. I did not stand with the wind directly to my back as I had before, but at a cross angle. It didn't fell right, so I moved a few steps further along the dirt road until it clicked in my mind.

Raising my left hand I unfold my six fingers and allow the puff ball of seeds from a common weed in my hand to sluggishly scatter into the breeze. Most of the seeds would fail to land in places they could take root, but one would land in just the right place to grow big and spread more seeds. If those seeds would grow more plants I did not know. It would not be my job that far along. But that one seed that I did know about, that one plant, would be important later. Many things would be quite important later, but, also not my job. Not yet at least.

Having done this job I turn to face the wind now, closing two of my eyes I take a moment to just enjoy the sun on my face before sighing and starting down the road, a smile on my lips.
It really was a beautiful day.

The wind would change again soon, more sand would fall and the night would turn to day. This day would end, just another day to most and the most important day of their lives to others.

And, as always, I had more work to do.
