Similes

Alice is all about the simile lately. She held up a green olive at dinner and said "It's like an egg. But it's not an egg." Every simile must be dashed but reality. It's like X. But it's not X.

Way to zen koan, Alice!

A postcard is like a memory, but it is not a memory.

The surface of the water is like a mirror, but it is not a mirror.

My mind is like that of the sparrow, but it is not of the sparrow.
