The Wind That Forgot to Blow

A Village Caught in Stillness

By GoldenSpeechPublished about a month ago 1 min read

The wind vanished for seven days. Clothes hung motionless, fields lay silent, and people spoke in whispers as if afraid to disturb the frozen air. On the eighth morning, a young shepherd played a flute atop a hill. The melody rose delicately, and soon a breath of wind returned to carry the tune across the valley. Within hours the breeze danced again. Villagers later said that the shepherd had reminded the wind of its purpose—to move, to listen, and to carry stories from one heart to another.
