Mountain Metaphor Self
Portrait
Name_____________________________
Earlier in the
year we brainstormed a list of mountain words using a mountain as metaphor and
focusing on how we connect to mountains. We have learned so much since then and
we are going to revisit mountain as metaphor this time focusing on you as an
individual.
Our list -Struggle, Anger, Secretive,
Grounded, Ancient, Relaxation, Glacier, Tired, Huge, Choice, Snow, Adventure,
Time, Formed, Frigid, Free, Legend, Wild
Now add ten more
mountain descriptive and/or feeling words to the list-
How are you
connected (metaphorically) to a mountain?
Who are you?
What do you
feel?
How do you see
the world?
How do you think the world sees you?
What are you thankful for?
What are your hopes for the world?
What message do
you want others to hear?
What is a
different way you are connected (metaphorically) to a mountain?
When you are
done with your brainstorming, format your ideas into prose that fits on a notecard
to hang under your picture on the wall.
Indigo
Constantly
changing mountainside, externally eroded and internally volatile with emotions
Teacher, mother,
artist, bicyclist, runner, mentor, peer, and lover of nature
My heart is
volatile with feelings- intense, responsible, hopeful, happy, anxious, worried,
and appreciative
Seeing the world
full of people doing the best they can with what they have at that moment
Others see me as
a creative, outgoing person with crazy hair and fashion
Grateful for the
beauty of nature, my family, music, art, my community, health, clean food and
water
Wishing people
can love themselves enough to see the best in others and act in positivity
Be compassionate
to yourself and others, if you see someone without a smile give them yours
Transformative
and ready to erupt with sadness or great joy
