THE METAPHORIC MIND


Metaphors

Ocean as fate, uncontrollable power

Candle as human life span

Being in the same boat as sharing life; and wealth as the changing nature of human fate

Wind as unseen powers influencing our life like God

The rainbow as hope

The sky and the clouds as the unknown

A storm as troubled emotion

A rose as love

The weather as the changing nature of human fate

The night sky as Eternity

The sun as ruler and source of life

The moon as knower of secrets and secret pleasures

"My candle burns at both ends "

"The fog comes on little cat's feet"

"Hope is a thing with feathers"

"You of course were a rose - but was always a rose"

"Nostalgia - that's autumn"

"My soul has grown deep like the rivers"

"Love is an ever-fixed walk"

"Truth is fire, and to speak the truth means to illuminate and burn"

"Life is like playing a violin solo in public"

"A diamond is a chunk of coal that made good under pressure"
