. . . On the difference between metaphorical & literal mind . . .


For the metaphorical mind, what others

perceive as isolated facts are but unrealized

opportunities in the dance of relationship.


For the literal mind, this dance has stopped;

with laser-like precision, it focuses on the outward

features of things:—shards, digits,

mere fragments of flux.


For the metaphorical mind, water in flowing movement

brings us closer to the essence of life;

for the literal mind, water is but potential pressure

behind so many more massive dams.


Clearly, in proper measure, we need both,

both the metaphorical & literal minds.

But even more, we need to see clearly

the difference between them.
