Face to the Wind

I’ve been noticing dogs in vehicles a lot lately: little ones perched on driver’s laps, hunky ones taking soldier stances in the backs of pickups, mid-sized one poking noses out of backseat windows. Tails wagging, ears up, noses sniffing, faces to the wind, these dogs don’t want to miss a thing. I wonder what it would look like to live with our faces to the wind. I listed a few ideas below. We’d love to hear yours!

• Roll down the windows when driving or riding to feel and hear the music of the earth.
• Take sensory walks: once to listen, another time to smell, one time to look, another time to feel, maybe even a time to taste—within reason, of course!
• When riding in a closed vehicle, view the world through every available window. How does altered perspective “reframe” the view?
