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.
