A Mystery and A Memory

A Mystery

I found this beautiful and fascinating book at an estate sale.

Crop Circles:  Signs, Wonders, and Mysteries
Steve and Karen Alexander

The authors consider many aspects of crop circles.
I find the geometry interesting.
"Above all, spirals . . . are about movement, unfolding, and growth." p.106

And yes, there is an example of a spiral!

A Memory 
 
As I studied these designs a song long forgotten found its way into my attention:
Noel Harrison singing, "The Windmills of Your Mind".
