Dust

Only a few hours after dusting there seems to be a layer on everything again. Do we have more dust than ages ago?

As I drive down the highway, you can see trees react every time a semi-truck goes by them. The trees sway in the wind created by the trucks. This has to create more dust in the air. Or how about the man in the yard with the leaf blower who is surrounded by a cloud of dust as he works? Air conditioning and central heat constantly stir the air so that dust remains suspended. Could it be that when we think we are getting the dusty layers up there is still tons more dust waiting in the air of our homes; waiting to settle on the stack of books or the mantle?

Then I think of horses cantering down the roads of yesterday and...maybe we have less dust. Anyway, I think I will sneeze at all of these thoughts of dust!
