Welcome to Demos with Dale!

A monthly video demonstration of Metaphors of Movement

See below for a list of idioms from the session. I welcome all comments and observations.

MoM Video - Explanation

 

Idioms

Right

  • You could take steps in the right direction
  • But you would hit a line/barrier 
  • What’s right would take you away from the field that you're currently out standing.
  • Doing what’s right would move you in a different direction.
  • Now, sometimes we need to move in the right direction. 
  • But if you were to progress too far in the right direction, 
  • You might not be able to see the wood from the trees.
  • You might find yourself a little bit lost, 
  • You'd be in an environment that's very different to the one that you currently find yourself in.

Left and Back

  • The background to this and what's left for you is pretty similar to where you're standing.
  • You've got a pretty natural understanding of the situation. 
  • And I mean, it's growing. 
  • You're outstanding in your field, and nobody can really argue that.
  • Or maybe you're outstanding in somebody else's field. 

Forward

  • But what you look forward to is solid. 
  • It's unmovable. 
  • What you look forward to, rocks
  •  It could be said that what you look forward to is bolder than you.
  • Now, what's interesting about rocks is they're pretty reliable. 
  • They don't really move. 
  • They don't really go anywhere.
  • So what you're looking forward to is solid. It's immovable. 
  • But it's also stopping you from progressing.
  • You look forward to something quite sizable blocking the direction in which you're going. 
  • Maybe you look forward to rocking
     

Identity Observations

Who is this person who ends up with a huge rock blocking their path? Oh, someone who's not paying attention to the direction they're going. Yeah.


Additional Note

After the session, one more idiom came to me, I said someone who end up here is someone who. Just Keeps their head down and just keep moving forward. This turned out to be how he operates a lot in life.
