THE WONDERFUL METAPHORS IN MY LIFE – PART 1

Posted on April 5, 2010 by Judy

Recently, it occurred to me that metaphors have always been a part of my life. They have been especially useful with my writing.
There seems so be so many interesting coincidences in my life. While looking through cassettes of my original songs, I came across two, special tapes that were entitled: “Jason’s funeral,” and “Jason’s Unveiling.” I knew I did not want to listen to the funeral tape.

Did you know I’ve hardly gone anywhere? I have never had a vacation that’s relaxing. It’s a beautiful day. There is an aqua ocean in the distance. It is sunny, and she and I are enjoying our trip together.” I continued to describe my vision to Connie. “My daughter looks confident and beautiful,” I said. “She is laughing and enjoying her life.
