That's great!
I especially like the parts about the night sky and the falling snowflake!
Looks to me like you got it! :D

The books or the music in which we thought the beauty was located will betray us if we trust to them; it was not in them, it only came through them, and what came through them was longing. These things—the beauty, the memory of our own past—are good images of what we really desire; but if they are mistaken for the thing itself they turn into dumb idols, breaking the hearts of their worshippers. For they are not the thing itself; they are only the scent of a flower we have not found, the echo of a tune we have not heard, news from a country we have never yet visited.

All the things that have deeply possessed your soul have been but hints of it—tantalising glimpses, promises never quite fulfilled, echoes that died away just as they caught your ear... We cannot tell each other about it. It is the secret signature of each soul, the incommunicable and unappeasable want . . . which we shall still desire on our deathbeds . . . ~C.S. Lewis

LOL I know what you mean!
When I made my essence of Machu Picchu it was kind of exhausting
... and obsessive! :?
But the neat thing about the essence mapping system
is that it's very easy to add things after you've made the basic structure.

As you get to know your character better
you can add more and more details.
Then when you run into a situation
where you are wondering what your character would do
you can look back over the essence map
and refresh your memory of what they are truly like at heart.
