A metaphor is a frame. The right one changes how you see yourself and the world. When you can’t express yourself directly, aim for a metaphor, even if you don’t understand why you selected what you select.
Unravel it when you have a clear head. Look into it to find insight that transcends simple language.
The best metaphors are still lakes.

“If you can look into the seeds of time, and say which grain will grow and which will not, speak then to me.” —Macbeth, William Shakespeare
