Second mind

Have you ever experienced the feeling? I would like to tell a story. More specifically I would like to quote.

“… There were sounds. And voices. It was only now that she realized what she was thinking, although it had been there for almost an entire day. A melody. She’s been singing this melody to herself ever since she heard it the other day on the radio… It was true; she had been humming the melody incessantly. To the end, and then once again, and then from start to finish again. She couldn’t get it out of her mind… That’s the second mind. – he said. It’s your second mind that’s humming the song. It can do that with anything. If you’re in love with someone, you can have that person inside your head. The same thing happens with someone you want to forget about. But the second mind is tough thing to deal with. It’s at work regardless of whether you want it to be or not… A song! We’re always impassioned about something. And it’s not always a song. Have you ever have someone you loved stick in your mind? It’s really terrible when that happens. You travel, you try to forget, but your second mind keeps saying: Oh, he would really love that! Oh, if only he were here...”

Interesting, isn’t it? So have you felt ever the same? I must tell I did. I always do, actually. Mind is the most complicated and endless empire that is hard to completely conquer. It is something that everybody should think about once or so. Observe it. Most of you, I’m sure, don’t even need to observe. Already noticed, right? Well, let me know :).

I can’t tell who is the one I always think about, who is in my second mind. Well, that’s all I wanted to write so far.

Oh, and that the quote was from Coelho’s Valkyries :).
