  • Thanks so much for sharing this enlightening interview--among so many--Dr. Dave. Your work is so profound in a culture that can benefit so greatly from wisdom from our experts and elders. Kim Hermanson provides a wellspring of understanding in the language of metaphor, and you have captured it so well in this conversation. Kudos to you both....

  • A very good interview with Kim Hermanson, who knows a lot about metaphor.

    During the exercise toward the end, I was working with the image of a yellow rope that did not help me to climb a mountain, getting me out of a ravine. Having previously worked with Robert Hoss' color chart, I identified my motivation but not the answer to move forward. In the exercise, I pictured the yellow rope as a ray of sunlight, which took the literal definition away and put the metaphor back into the image for me. I won't go into all the detail but this works for the interpretation of my situation.

    A big thanks goes to Kim and Dr. Dave for this radio show.

    • Thanks, Randy.  I think I'll also read your comment on a future episode, if you don't mind. :-)
