Post subject:  Emuna Of The Wise; Essence Map

I'm not entirely certain what possessed me to tell Manda I would try essence mapping, but something did, so here I am. Trying essence mapping. Which is apparently fun and not the stress-inducing mess I've made. :rofl: Anyways, here's my first ever essence map. Thanks to Vilissë (whom helped me a lot with the similes) and Manda (whom somehow convinced me to try making it). Feel free to critique and tell me what I did wrong. Here you go:


Emuna Of The Wise

BODY
Look and Feel{
Skin[
(The wet sand on the beach)
(A rose petal)
(A pearl)]


Hair[
(brown river rock)
(dirt after it rains)
(swells on the open sea)]

Eyes[
(caramel)
(a dead leaf)
(a broken heart)
(A stormy night)]}

Movement{
Walk[
(prowling lion)
(floating cloud)
(a palace)]

Run[
(a cheetah)
(wind on a summer's eve)
(leaves falling from trees)]
Standing/Sitting[
(sand in an hourglass)
(hummingbird perched on a tree)
(panther descending from a tree)]

Motion[
(a pendulum)
(a butterfly in mid-flight)
(the sunsetting in the evening)]}



MIND

Memories{
Mother[
(ocean waves at night)
(tears on a coffin)
(diamond on a red cloth)]

Father[
(tornado)
(lightning striking during a thunderstorm)
(fear)]


Personality{
Outward[
(well composed all the time)
(stay out of the crowd)
(a bite worse than her bark)]

Inward[
(a shaking bush)
(a vase crashing to the ground)
(hidden memories)]


So...that would be it. Whatever it is. Hope you enjoyed! :D

I love the similies you have used Beth! Very graceful. For a first one it's amazing. Well done!

My only question is: is it supposed to say 'a bite worse than her bark' or is it supposed to read 'a bark worse than her bite?' :D

Thanks. :)

It's supposed to say, "a bite worse than her bark". I couldn't think of any other way to put it...

I loved this metaphor: "swells on the open sea;" that just spoke volumes about her hair (seriously! :D), but I also really liked "diamond on a red cloth."

For a first essence map, that's really good, Bethany. Great job!

Vili came up with "swells on the open sea" I really liked it too. :) Probably one of my favorites.
And the "diamond on a red cloth" one is something mom said when referring to the night sky.

Thanks. :D

by itself this was by far my favorite piece: "ocean swells at night" was my favorite in the context of the map, you see.
