Meaning May Make No Sense to Anyone Else

Much meanig is private, eccentric and quite irrational

if by rational you want to convey something to more than one and count

rationality as a sort of resonance

This means something beautiful

I see

Much meaning is desultory in terms of its delivery one to another

So what is a real meaning that is beyond doubt

Well um let’s say that quake we felt a while back

Everyone felt it within the distance I could ascertain by listening to others

who felt it

OK but what is the value of my private, eccentric and uncommunicated (as yet)

meaning

as opposed to what we all within limits experienced with that

well it was a mini-quake didn’t mean much

Ooooh

Well you see

And then there are meanings

of words like chaise for chair

accepted where employed

and meanings of creeds which are themselves suppositional

and meanings of poems

What meaning do you want pray tell the poet’s or the teacher’s or your own sense of it?

Anything can become a conundrum

Any meaning can mean nothing

Nothing is reality

Yes that means something

At least to me
