I was on the ferry, having just shared with a friend in the car how I would like to go faster, higher, further with my goals…
I came across a stall in the toilet, on one side of the door of which was a riddle “Going up, can’t go up; coming down, can’t go down?” & on the other side the answer: windmill wings.
Since there was a windmill behind the gate of my ancestral home on an island and as a former airline worker I also love airplanes (which also have wings), it started to seem very significant… What is it that keeps me grounded and doesn’t let me fly?
And what helps me fly? Fascinating symbols.

Tuuliku tiivad
Olin praamil, olles just autos jaganud sõbraga, kuidas tahaks oma eesmärkidega seoses kiiremini, kõrgemale, kaugemale…
Sattusin tualetis boksi, mille ukse ühel poolel oli mõistatus “Üles lähevad, üles ei saa; alla tulevad, maha ei saa?” & teisel pool vastus: tuuliku tiivad.
Kuna mu emapoolse suguvõsa kunagise talu värava taga Muhus on Eemu tuulik ja lennufirmas töötanuna armastan ma lennukeid ka (millel on samuti tiivad), siis hakkas väga märgiline tunduma… Mis see on, mis mind maa küljes kinni hoiab ega lendu ei lase?
Ja mis aitab mind lendu? Inspireerivad sümbolid.
