Reflections on wind blowing through the reeds

Lily asked me, "What do you mean by those words in the header of your blog?" She was referring to the lines:

"When wind blows through the reeds there is music.
Wind is transformed to music by the reeds."

I meant it to be pure poetry. But I can't be a poet writing only two lines. So here are my thoughts:

We are like the reeds. We merely give some form to the ideas that are part of the zeitgeist. We may express these ideas in the form of literary works, scientific discoveries, artistic expressions etc. But can we really claim the copyright for our creations? May be not. We are merely instruments (reeds).

When our consciousness is tuned, we get the ideas. Or rather the ideas get us. And out of some impulse, we express them in some form of creation. When our consciousness is not tuned (when we are distracted, agitated, defocused ...), the ideas are still there; but we do not notice them.

I also mentioned that the wind stands for the Spirit. The Holy Spirit, who inspires.
