Slight Breeze
a slight breeze can make fora bigger potato crop
a slight breeze can make for
prettier flowers
a slight breeze can make for
more open-minded human beings
a slight breeze can make for
clear-sighted government
provided, of course, that the corridors of power
are opened up to slight breezes
