‘I was sitting in my car waiting for my art school to open. There was a thunderstorm brewing and a heavy, gusty wind blew up. Bits of paper and other trash were being blown by the wind past my car. One bit of ‘trash’ looked different. It was like a small whirlwind, about a foot high. In the middle of this little whirlwind was a figure, twirling inside at a different rate than the whirlwind itself. It scooted past my car and up the street. I realized I had just seen a wind elemental!’ ‘A twirling figure that seemed to be dancing with joy as it was propelled by the wind.’ ‘Somehow I knew this fairy was attached to the windstorm. It could only have been a fairy/elemental.’ ‘Another race of God’s creatures.’
