When somebody states that they are just a "leaf blowing in the wind", they mean that they are going wherever "chance" or "destiny" or some other outside force is taking with no individual control of their destination. The same as a leaf blowing in the wind. That leaf has no control of where it goes because it can not move, but with the driving force of the wind behind it, who knows where it will end up. Hope this helps.
"Listen to the wind" can mean to quiet your thoughts in order to pay attention to things or people outside yourself.The "wind" is also often talked about by mystics and religious people, and even by psychologists. A light wind is very soft, often inaudible... therefore, it would take great practice to still yourself to "hear" something that has little sound.Mystics and religious people also use the mental image of the "wind" to remind people of the fact that the universe is in control of everything, even the wind that cannot be seen, has no smell, etc. Even in its most destructive form, the wind simply does what it is made to do: to be and to move. Whether it blows in a gentle breeze, or a gale force hurricane, the wind performs it's designated duties.The wind as a reference and reminder in religious groups that God is always present:When the wind is silent, it is always there. When the wind is still, we still know or recall it's power.When the wind's force grows, we may cry out for a god who is stronger than the win's destructive powers.
