Why "Strange Wind?"

There are really two reasons, one that I knew at the time when I started this journal and the other that only became apparent later.

The first reason stems from a project I'm working on right now regarding a pre-apocalyptic gainland (as opposed to a post-apocalyptic wasteland.) It is weird, dangerous, violent, familiar and hopeful.

The second is because of a passage in Jeremiah 4:

“At that time the people of Judah and Jerusalem will be told,
‘A scorching wind will sweep down from the hilltops in the desert on my dear people.
It will not be a gentle breeze for winnowing the grain and blowing away the chaff.
No, a wind too strong for that will come at my bidding. Yes, even now I, myself, am calling down judgment on them.’

Look! The enemy is approaching like gathering clouds. The roar of his chariots is like that of a whirlwind."
