Like a circle in a spiral
Like a wheel within a wheel
Never ending or beginning
On an ever-spinning reel
As the images unwind
Like the circles that you find
In the windmills of your mind
- by Legrand, Bergman, and Bergman
These are the last few lines of one of my favorite poems and compositions. This song written by Legrand, Bergman and sung by Noel Harrison tells a lot about human mind and its continuous journey till eternity.
Thoughts and ideas fuel the mind that is constantly working. The poet compares it with spinning wheel, circle in a spiral and even earth spinning around its axis. The mind travels to deepest thoughts and explores concepts that have never been explored. The people we meet and moments that we share are constantly flickering in our memories. All these thoughts breeze through our mind and keeps the mind running like a windmill and hence the windmills of our mind.
This windmill is concealed by us with the composure we hold in the outside world. I may seem calm and composed from outside. But deep within, there are zillion of thoughts that keep my mind moving. The calmness outside can be a deception to the fast and vigorous turmoil that is going on in the head. I can truly relate to the muppet in the video below.
