Quotes:
These very strong winds of change will grow the possibilities of living in times when creating "impossible dreams" will flourish!...
"Impossible dreams" are the product of the wildest winds of change…
Do not be so sure that you can control the winds without the winds controlling you...

Introduction:
Sometimes a powerful image – the Windmills of “The Impossible Dreams” in our lore – shock us into a new remembering… that the greatest hopes can flourish from times of the greatest winds of change and desire – inflames creativity -- and the “impossible dreams” are the only dreams which make sense of the tremulous, unwritten future when reality seems surreal, and we long for a new way “home”...
Are these the “strongly blowing winds” that will “grow the possibilities,” the “Impossible dreams” that Grandmother speaks of? The “Windmill” image brought me up short – she actually gave the title at the beginning! I had to connect the dots and remembered the novel of Don Quixote, Cervantes, and the musical “Man of La Mancha” (Wasserman, Leigh, Darion) performed worldwide in so many languages. I loved “The Impossible Dream,” lately hearing it in another language which I don’t speak. Some things translate universally, across a whole globe and many time zones… Perhaps that distinguishes our “impossible dreams”…
This Grandmother audio message has inspired many new creative ideas all week when I had before felt deflated in the heat – the Windmill revived me… Enjoy “Grandmother on Creativity and the Windmill: The Winds of Impossible Dreams Are with Us”…Recorded 6-30-21, Posted 7-4-21…
TRANSCRIPT:
"Grandmother from Another Planet on Creativity and the Windmill: The Winds of Impossible Dreams Are with Us"
GRANDMOTHER:
This is Grandmother from Another Planet. And I would like to greet you with love and speak to you today about "Creativity and the Windmill." The Windmill is a very creative solution, which as it were turns out also to be very beautiful and very iconic -- something very memorable.
If you had created the Windmill, you would say, "Well, there! The symbol of my creation will be with us for a very, very, very long time!"
Now, a Windmill takes whatever winds come and uses the force of the winds around, which come from wherever they come from at any time, to turn wheels which grind grain, which can then more easily be processed into usable grain for breads and foods.
This is very creative, and it is also very beautiful -- and it has also inspired novels and musicals and all sorts of things about "The Impossible Dream"...
Well. I would like to announce strongly that the winds of "impossible dreams" are with us now...
You live in the time when the winds of the" impossible dreams" will blow most strongly. And you should greet this event with great joy and happiness, because these very strong winds will grow the possibilities of living in times when creating "impossible dreams" will flourish! Such challenging times are often the fodder, the seeds of living "impossible dreams"!
These very strong winds will grow the possibilities of living in times when creating "impossible dreams" will flourish!...

What I want to stress today is that every time you see a great challenge, when you feel great winds of change coming, you should understand this in the context of "Creativity and the Windmill."
Were there no wind, there would be no milling. Do you see?
The greater the winds, the greater the milling of the grains... The great grains of the future.
The greater the winds, the greater the milling of the grains... The great grains of the future...

And if you have the opportunity to experience things like musicals about "impossible dreams," well, that's a good thing, too. "Impossible dreams" are something to sing about, to write about, to paint and draw, to dance about, to drum about... We do so love drumming...and rhythmical freedom of artistic expression.
"Impossible dreams" are the product of the wildest winds of change.
"Impossible dreams" are the product of the wildest winds of change…

And an additional exercise today, in addition, too, please meditate upon "Creativity and the Windmill." It needn't be anything complex. Simply set your timer and meditate at least 5 minutes on the Creativity of the Windmill. And then meditate 5 minutes on your own creativity! You see? And there you are... (Suggested sound for these meditations: Deep theta -- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KcU6w1Pr5gc&t=507s or drumming -- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hkkksl7CN70 )
In these times, the winds must be allowed to blow freely to the Windmills... Do you see?
When you attempt to stop the winds, you create other kinds of winds, and you open a doorway for other "impossible dreams." So, do not be so sure that you can control the winds without the winds controlling you... Do you see?
Do not be so sure that you can control the winds without the winds controlling you...

This is a simple analogy -- but you might remember it: "Creativity and the Windmill." Set your meditation timer. Bask in wonderful sound or even the sound of drums as well as the deep "Theta" sound which we often recommend... (Online Links: Deep theta -- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KcU6w1Pr5gc&t=507s or drumming -- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hkkksl7CN70 )
You want to be in a "deep sound state" -- almost asleep, but not asleep. I would say that it is a state of "awakening." You want to be in a state of "awakening"...
Visualize your Windmill -- wear Windmills upon your shirts -- and you will not forget the great, great creativity which comes with the winds of "impossible dreams." This is a time when the great winds of "impossible dreams" are with us. Do not forget this.
This is a time when the great winds of "impossible dreams" are with us. Do not forget this…
And in this great time of winds of change, you need to add a great deal of love to this time of new creations, which will be required. You see, the winds of "impossible dreams" require the greatest love of all...
You see, the winds of "impossible dreams" require the greatest love of all...
So, find that "greatest love of all" within you...and let those winds blow and begin to look for the "impossible dreams"...
So, find that "greatest love of all" within you...and let those winds blow and begin to look for the "impossible dreams"...
-----
So, this in closing, the last exercise, is to meditate upon the "impossible dreams" which you would like. Set your timer and meditate upon the creative "impossible dreams" which you would like to make possible with a great deal of love.
And with a great deal of love, I come to you..., I affirm you, I cherish you! And I am Grandmother from Another Planet...
