boiled eggs
"Eggs are like the oneness of God because there is an outer shell (Father), the white (Son) and the yoke (Holy Ghost) all together as oneness. When taken out of the carton it is like repenting, when submerged under boiling hot water it is like water baptism and when placed in cold water and peeled it is like receiving the Holy Ghost and being born again! (The sound of the eggs being cracked is like the sign of speaking in tongues) "
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.
