This little piece of brevity lets me travel. It is also very visual j. I heard wind chimes going nuts in a strong wind on a cold day and aggravating the neighbors. Bamboo chimes are quite hollow but the other sort can drive you insane if you want a quiet afternoon. Are they snobby? Well maybe they are, but I can see other possibilities in metaphor as well first this piece.
I had windchimes once, or perhaps it was just tinnitus, or both, but I do like your description of snobbish winds. Very apt indeed.
Luckily the picturing today is calm and still, but if I concentrate I can still hear them clanging from days and weeks past.
It's enough to drive us doolally, so it's a comfort to know it's just a figment of my imagi-hearing!

Down here in Southern Illinois when people think it is cold, I laugh.

dear Jacob... the Winds lift me to a place of Grace where seeds of Reason fall in place. You write as though you are a Maestro conducting Orchestrated Violins and soft Kettle drums. Peace and harmony... gently, Pat
