Even after thinking about it for the past week I still hear Bob Dylan before I conjure up possible images for "Blowin' in the Wind"
I realize I remember totally useless information from my youth while forgetting important stuff about today. I found Bob's explanation about his song:
"There ain’t too much I can say about this song
except that the answer is blowing in the wind. It ain’t in no book or
movie or TV show or discussion group. Man, it’s in the wind – and it’s
blowing in the wind. Too many of these hip people are telling me where
the answer is but oh I won’t believe that. I still say it’s in the wind
and just like a restless piece of paper it’s got to come down some
...But the only trouble is that no one picks up the answer when it
comes down so not too many people get to see and know . . . and then it
flies away. I still say that some of the biggest criminals are those
that turn their heads away when they see wrong and know it’s wrong. I’m
only 21 years old and I know that there’s been too many . . . You
people over 21, you’re older and smarter."
I'm happy to agree - the answer is blowing in the wind, not sure about the older folk being smarter though.
I associate these clouds with wind up high in the atmosphere. Maybe the answer is up there somewhere.
Maybe the answer is here, at the Hokianga Harbour entrance.
Or outside the local school. Hmm, yes that would be a good place to find an answer.
Or maybe it's right here, on my doorstep.
To see what was blowing in the wind in the home towns of the rest of the Friday Shoot Out team, just pop over here.
