I have a very deep respect and passion for wind and its power. Wind is amazing. It is a powerful invisible force that provides relief on a hot summer’s day, or can simply rip a house to pieces. The dichotomy of wind is very profound. I can list numerous positive attributes along with its destructive powers. However, today, I am going to focus on it musical qualities.
When I was child, we lived in house surrounded by a forest and babbling brook. There were huge boulders scattered throughout the land. I spent my time lying on the boulders, looking up, watching the trees sway and clouds move, while listening to the wind flow through the leaves and pine trees. The wind created music in the forest. It was so exciting and awesome.
Over time, my fascination with wind has continued. I started buying instruments for this invisible force to play. I am excited by how diverse and beautiful my wind chimes collection has grown over the years. I have scattered wind chimes throughout our land so they serenade us daily. I love the music the wind makes.
I have been fortunate in the past to live near the Woodstock Chimes Warehouse, which has warehouse sales every spring and fall. This has allowed me to indulge in my passion at affordable prices. Woodstock Chimes make beautiful musically tune chimes, gongs, bell instruments. The next sale is May 18, 19, 20 & 21, 2017, 9am – 5pm each day. If you are in the area, go early, as it can become a mad house.
