The Wind As A Way Of Connect To Trees


It was on a Monday afternoon when Tumi decided to have lunch. Then took a bath and called his friend Kay and Karch. They had decided to meet up later in the afternoon. They communicated using phones and decided to start moving towards their usual meeting spot. He had already started moving towards their chilling spot. He had walked close to a kilometer before arriving at the meeting spot. Kay and Karch had already arrived there and they were prepared to go relax in the bush. There is a ground to play soccer and there was a match within the same bush. They walked into the bush and stood against the wall around the bush. Stood next to the street just as more people entered the bush to watch soccer matches. The match was about to start in a few minutes. Karch, Kay and, Tumi had walked into the bush to take a sit away. Far away from the crowd as they only had to sit on a place. With a view of the soccer pitch and shade to protect them from the hot sun. They sat on a spot on top of a hill with a tree and a mini forest near it. With mini trees near the tree they sat under as they had a perfect view of the ground. And just as they sat down, Kay decided to take out the weed he brought and he had began crushing the joint. He was about to roll and they spoke about what had occurred at school during the previous week. And weekend as they had attended extra classes on previous day, which was on a Saturday. The wind immediately increased pace, in a way that you would think someone had been hiding behind the forest, blowing the wind towards them. As the winds direction was from the mini forest to where they had sat under the tree. As soon as the wind reached where they had sat. It quickly changed direction from where they had sat straight to the min forest. As soon as the wind reached the trees it then calmed down. It were as if someone was having a breathing exercises in a gigantic human body. Or in meditation form as you breathe in and out. As if it were a fan and a vacuum switched on at the same time in both ends. Quickly after the wind had disappeared they were astonished of what had just occurred. Forcing them to quickly stand up and move towards the soccer pitch. Then out of the bloom a grey cloud had formed above the tree they sat under. That had made Karch to look above and to start stressing. Just as they were forced them to move ahead near the ground. But there were quickly forced to say the reaction of the wind had been a warning. They moved towards the ground and were followed by the grey cloud. It had began letting down a few droplets to signal that it was about to rain. That made them decide to cut the chilling time. As they had feared that they will be rained on before they reach home. Soon after they reached the exit point. The rain droplets had stopped for a while. That forced them to stop for a few seconds to study the rain. The cloud coverage signaled that it was not about to rain. As it it was only one grey cloud above them. Which kept on letting out rain droplets with the sky blue and covered up in white clouds. That had made them jump into conclusion that this was an act of God as he wanted warned them. But the grey cloud had not disappeared from the sky. It had darken for a while as the clouds were not covering the sun. That had made it cold and hit at the same time. They had decided to stay within the bush for a few more hours as the match was still on. They had strategized to live as soon as the match ends. They smoked the rolled joint near the crowd that was cheering at their supported soccer teams. They had decided to get some material to sit on. As the clouds had made a big shade. Or had covered the sun being reflected in their direction and that made it easier to sit alongside the ground. As they sat down they began speaking. About what had occurred in this bush that instant moment. This had made some old men part of the crowd to join in on the conversation. As the conversation had made one man to remember witchcraft. How it can be dealt with and at the same time the other was opposing the witchcraft part. As he was thinking it was a message for the boys or one of them. He further stated that, ‘A blessing can be spotted from a mile away and it depends on what you believe in’. That had made Tumi to lead up to a conclusion that this act was of a creature. That had haunted his ancestors traditional leader’s or people of the water. He kept quiet and thought about the entire event from how the wind looked as if it were controlled. The match had reached the end and it was time for them to departure. They had worried about playing in a wet ground. With mud that would made it hard to run from point A to point B. They had left while still speaking about the same matter over and over again. Till they reached the point where they had met earlier on. They quickly ended the chilling time and parted their own way. With Tumi now satisfied that his spirit was now awaken. That had made nature to become one with him. He had realized that it was not only on that day that the event had occurred. But every time he sat on a bench under a tree that would make the trees. To react to him through making it windy as if he blew air into the atmosphere. He was even told that every time he sits under a tree. And raises up his hands it would be windy meaning he can control the wind with his hands. But that was soon to be a mission for him to fully understand the rain as he had figured out who he was. THE END
