Amongst the large pile of accumulated stuff on my bedroom windowsill is a tiny pocket kite. I really ought to put it in a pocket as clearly it has no use on a windowsill. Except today my attention was caught as its tissue thin tail trailed over the sill edge and was lifted in the warm air currents rising from the radiator beneath. I watched it dance awhile and marvelled at the fact that I don't usually think about the air rising, I'm just glad when I feel the heat :)
A bit later I went over to the windowsill to get something else and shifted the tail to see if I could get it to rise more if the tail was longer. And couldn't get it back into a position to move at all. There's something there about greed I'm sure! I needed to get going for work anyway rather than admire air currents all day but I'm sure the image will stay with me a while. I hope you get to glimpse some wonders today too :)
