Windmills Of Your Mind!
There I was, up a little dirt road, teetering on the edge of a 300 foot drop in Swaziland, on the brink of death, the hire car just one foot from the precipice, and all I could think of was how to get the hire car back in one piece, as they would be really upset!!
It’s amazingly banal sometimes what you think of when you are put on the spot! It wasn’t my life I was concerned about, just some piece of machinery. Life can change in an instant and things can take a totally different path to what you had planned or wished for!
Luckily I survived, but my thoughts and wishes for my life then became more important and I swore to do something with it that would make me proud!
You see the Circle of Life has many ups and downs. It’s how we react and what we do with this topsy-turvy world that marks us out as change makers!
I am reminded of these words that have forever stuck in my mind, about life’s ups and downs. From the lyrics of “Windmills of your mind”
“Round like a circle in a spiral, like a wheel within a wheel
Never ending or beginning on an ever spinning reel
Like a snowball down a mountain, or a carnival balloon
Like a carousel that’s turning running rings around the moon
Like a clock whose hands are sweeping past the minutes of its face
And the world is like an apple whirling silently in space
Like the circles that you find in the windmills of your mind …” — [Noel Harrison]
So take the Windmills Of Your Mind and make them your own, and strive to do the things you set out to do when you had your vision of your future!!
