Dust Devil

We're surrounded and imbued by unseen forces. My belief was reinforced over the weekend as I watched dust devils dance across a gravel parking lot. The miniature tornadoes would rise twenty to thirty feet from the ground, inspiring kids to chase them until the twisters lost momentum. The phenomenon is invisible on paved surfaces. A person walking down a street could pass right through a dust devil and think that it was just a sudden gust of wind.
