Summary

This quote suggests that external circumstances can bring about two different reactions: either sparking the imagination or causing frustration and confusion. The metaphor of a great wind symbolizes significant change or disruption. For those with a creative mindset, this change presents an opportunity to think creatively and envision new possibilities. However, for others who struggle to adapt to change or find it overwhelming, the same shift can lead to confusion and frustration, comparable to a headache. Ultimately, the quote emphasizes the divergent responses individuals may have when faced with transformative events.
