THE SMILING WINDMILLS
Leon Van De Eijkel
August 2008
"A a child growing up in Holland, life was exciting and full of joy;
the clouds, the rain, the sea and nature played with us. Irksome wind is an adult thing.
in The Smiling Windmills I recall my childhood and the joy the wind gave me.
I want to share it with everyone as a positive source of energy."
