The Lily

June 21, 2011

During my travels through the Stirling Ranges last month, I came across The Lily, a 16th century Dutch windmill that stood out in stark contrast to its surroundings.  Having lived in Holland last year, you can imagine my surprise at seeing the Amstel logo in the middle of the Australian outback…

It starts like a seed.  Like a dandelion spore blown in through the ear it floats through the mind, tracing the contours of the brain in search of a home.  Eventually, it is caught, and the cognitive processes take over.  They fill in the shade, they select the colour and hue of it all.  They bring life and all that comes with it; emotions in spades.  And once their work is done, and the flower has bloomed, so is the idea.  Fading.  Wilting.  Gone.

But always a trace will remain.

Welcome back!  It’s day one and I’ve got another draft to write!
