The kids and I walked this afternoon around the lake at our local park (yes, that one). The sun shone warm on our faces, but the wind blew a chill through our jackets.
Henry: I hate this wind. (shuddering) Who controls the wind?
Me: That's a good question. Some people think there's a god who controls things like that.
Henry: What do other people think?
Me: Other people say no one controls the wind. That wind comes from the heat of the sun, the cool of the water, the bumps and ridges of the earth, and a whole lot of other things working together.
Henry: (thinking)
Me: And some people think a god controls the sun, water, and earth in order to make wind.
Henry: (more thinking).
Me: What do you think?
Henry: I think I want to play hide and seek.
