My favorite natural elements are the sun and the sea.
I never talk to them like Santiago in The Alchemist, but when I have to play
tennis in very windy weather that’s a strong argue. Anyone who’s played tennis knows
that, when we have to toss the ball high for the serve and the wind blows it a
bit that can be easily an out. The wind can sometimes become tricky because it
can be variable, at this point our conversation starts:
Me: "Please stop, I need my first serves in".
Wind: "You will be able to hit in the wind too, there
is no excuse".
Me: "Then you must blow constantly".
And the conversation didn’t stop till the end of the
game.
