Who Holds the String

On the wing of summer’s wind, my kite - an apple red - darts beyond its string above me as I follow it. Freely it soars! Then abruptly it slows, forgetting who holds the string; now it draws nearer down to me!

I see a bigger picture of life here. While feeling content that the wind is in the right direction, it may abruptly veer round in a direction beyond our control. Great one Andrea...

I think a lot more going on here Andrea than meets the eye, It’s almost written like the Kite is simultaneously on both ends of the string controlling itself, excellent work, cheers David
