The Water Bike
a: Paddling a kayak ~
b: riding a mountain bike
What: "Paddling a kayak is like riding a mountain bike. The feeling is completely different from that which comes when you are power boating or jet skiing. In a kayak you slip right in and become part of the natural world - you harmonize - you're not just an intruder making waves. The egret fishing the shoreline doesn't startle as you go by and the striped bass swim along with you."

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.
