Your mind

Recently a technical stranger but a practical friend asked me to describe my mind, as if my mind were a place.  One of the best questions I've had the pleasure and stress of answering.

Here's a snippet - not the whole thing to preserve the privacy of our communications

"You are atop a small hill, cascading gently downwards towards a field of tall grass blowing in a gentle breeze. As you glide downwards you notice 1950s-era projectors on stands - hundreds liked up facing the edges of the field. Walking a small stone path you arrive at the first projector replaying super 8mm soundless home-movies of my childhood. The next couple steps you see my youth - then moving on to my current life. My mind replays my events hungrily searching for meaning or cause of current behavior. The next series of projectors snap to life at uneven intervals - each with a burst of light and sound as my mind jumps across the genres of film - romance then fantasy and those two are one and the same more often than not but then to science fiction and comedy."

I stand in awe at the bigness of the question and challenge the reader to consider answering this question - post up in the comments if you're brave.  If you are brave but private take the answer and strive for honesty.
