I have no idea if I do but I assume the experts are right so it was interesting to see your thoughts on true empathy. I also do not understand metaphors or similies without thinking at great length about what the speaker might mean by which time they have moved onto an entirely different topic.DJ Kirkbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08481107164497582398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7847612497728904946.post-16473343294169376882008-09-26T00:09:00.000-07:002008-09-26T00:09:00.000-07:00ps You're welcome to visit my blog.

Sometimes simplicity communicates better than flowery language. In my opinion. But then I'm rather a novice at writing, a fool rushing in where angels fear to tread, to offer a metaphor that is also (o horror!) a cliche...Leigh Russellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15080517449825380527noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7847612497728904946.post-60206800405776212632008-09-11T23:40:00.000-07:002008-09-11T23:40:00.000-07:00An interesting read.

For me, this is why they are so powerful. I paint and draw and dream in full colour, full of symbols and metaphors. When I was at university I would write and rewrite my notes until I could visualize them for exams. That's what my pdocs metaphors do for me, they add that one imperitive layer, the visual layer, to the lessons he is helping me learn.<BR/><BR/>I look forward to reading this blogg. Sounds interesting.<BR/>...aquaAquahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16230285017033299419noreply@blogger.com
