Here's my first Essence Map ever! I tried to put into words how I feel about good old Middle C (on the piano).

Essence of Middle C

Color:
---Warmth: fire in a hearth / nestling on the couch under a blanket / snuggling a sibling under thick quilts on a cold night / a fur coat
---Clarity: undisturbed swimming pool / tropical ocean / distinct crags on a distant mountain / distinct bumps on a distant cloud
---Comfort: slipping on a pair of jeans that fit perfectly / a well-worn T-shirt / taking off shoes after a long day / a hot shower

Sound:
---Familiarity: spotting a friend's face on a movie screen / a cousin's face in a sea of strangers / finding your carpool friend after waiting for hours
---Loyalty: foreigners accepting an American as a trusted friend / a bilingual American / strangers becoming friends though shared trauma
---Trustworthyness: entering your home neighborhood after navigating a strange city / hearing a song you love on the radio after a bunch of songs you hate


How did I do?

Oy! o.O I love this - very creative! It captures Middle C really well - I love the metaphors in 'comfort' I love how the overall impression is one of a friend. :D Good work!

You did brilliantly, Aemi! I kept singing the note to myself the whole time I was reading it, for some reason. :D Well done.
