My Metaphorical Journey

Carol Roach

I like my mind (my intellect). My mind resembles the climb to Mount Everest, and the subsequent yearning to get the top. The climb is hard. It takes work to build the strength to scale the mountain, just as it took work to learn the things I have learned in my life. The climb never ends, the mountain is high and I am but one individual making my trek to the beautiful snowcap summit. I long for the day I will reach the apex and shout to the world,??? I am here!???

I also know once I reach that top I will yearn for more.

My mind is like the universe forever expanding, forever opening up to new experiences, new worlds, and new life. Every new pearl of wisdom is a star in my own personal galaxy. Every new insight is my galaxy imploding, as I search within myself for truth, love, and understanding.

My mind is like the universe; all universes, forever searching, forever, expanding; stretching into infinity. There are no boundaries, and no limitation to what I can learn.

My mind is like a rush of fresh air, cleaning out the cobwebs of confusion and misunderstandings while breathing new life and new energy into every neuron, every synapse, every dendrite and ganglia of my brain.

My mind is like a well-oiled machine; every piece working together in sequence and in harmony. Each thought contingent upon the other to create a powerhouse of knowledge and wisdom. My mind is a steam engine that drives my eternal quest for knowledge and enlightenment, self actualization and self fulfillment.

My mind is like the maestro, guiding my thoughts, my notes, my melodies, to full fruition. The highs and lows in life; guided by the skill of the conductor's hand creating the most beautiful symphony. The melody and the rhythm show promise of a most beautiful noise. It is the wonderful sound of my heart singing, and my soul rejoicing. It is the triune of my heart, my soul and my mind; it is the essence of me.
