Ripples in the landscape, repeating ripples repeating, again, no ending, smoothly changing from field to meadow - a rhythm of hedges beating - to mound, to scarp, to valley to hill, sharp spikes of trees in the wood, the sudden smooth of a lake, flying gently above the landscape confusion, quiet, effortless, gliding, dropping as clouds advance, turbulence, whirlpools, eddies, more strength to keep aloft, more power, more sounds, more tension, electric air, thunderheads towering, crashing, storm pass, relax, gliding again, resolution of all problems in aftermath, healthy smelling air, wind dropping to a gentle breeze, all is calm, quiet, hush, peace returns, sailing effortless cross the friendly sea to safe harbour beyond, all is solved, all is calm, all is quiet, all is peace, all is peace
‘May the winds be gentle’ from Cosi fan Tutti. Mozart
