Traveling
"Metaphor is a Greek word that literally means to transport something from one place to another; and in Athens the public transit system is called the Metaphor. There one can literally take the Metaphor to work, or take the last Metaphor home, though in the rest of the world metaphors serve only as a medium of imaginative travel...the transportation system of the mind, the way we make connections between disparate things...the essence of the ways in which we think."
