Getting Caught in a Sudden Gust of Wind

Nature doesn’t knock sometimes it just sweeps in.

It comes out of nowhere. One second you’re walking, standing, or reaching for your keys and the next, a powerful gust hits. It might mess up your hair or blow your bag open. You might laugh, stumble, brace yourself, or stand frozen. But for a moment, you’re reminded: you’re outside. You’re small. And the world still has force. It’s not always dangerous. It’s often thrilling. Sometimes even needed.
