Discovering Lakoff last year was key for me. I'd been looking
   for exactly "something like this" for a very long time,
   especially his embodied cognition. While not perfect of course
   (what grand idea is?) it's close enough to my way of thinking
   already that I can firmly stand behind it as valid. Took a lot
   of years to find something I could stand behind quite like I can
   with that, but I can.
