body system
"When place on a table one can only see one side of it."
"The brain-body system is like a chemical sounding board that is highly responsive to inputs of all sorts, among them drugs "
"Rolfing has a profound affect on the athlete's breathing capacity. When the ribcage is freed, the ribs breathe in six directions: up, down, right, left, front and back.

"body system is like a community service- a large organized group with many members that perform specific jobs."

METAMIA is a free database of analogy and metaphor. Anyone can contribute or search. The subject matter can be anything. Science is popular, but poetry is encouraged. The goal is to integrate our fluid muses with the stark literalism of a relational database. Metamia is like a girdle for your muses, a cognitive girdle.
