Windows

Strange things blow in through my window on the wings of the night wind 

and I don't worry about my destiny.

~ Carl Sandburg

I suppose a house wouldn't have to have windows.  One wouldn't have to be able to see outside.  To look at the trees or the sky or the building next door or who approaches the door.  There is risk in the window.  There is the opportunity to see out, but the opportunity for others to see in.  It's easier to break in through a window than a wall.  And when we really see others, we also afford them a chance to see us.

Also, I think they ought to be called windnos not windows.  Because they are carpentry's way of saying NO to the wind.  Right?
