| Posted by Rula Shin on 08/22/06 at 06:14 PM What an amazingly clear and meaningful expression of what it means to mean. What I mean is always a projection of who I am at any given moment, who I am NOT, the circumstance, the present thought of past or future, the subconscious association or intention etc. But when, for whatever reason, I mean to provoke or dramatize meaninglessly, reacting mechanically to the external stimuli provoking me internally...I unconsciously mean I am an ant. That's what I saw. Very effective minimal, so clear and simple it is a wonder we are so blind. |
| Posted by Kristina Woodhill on 08/23/06 at 01:52 AM Yes, it is all in ones perspective, perhaps our need for some meaning in everything that can create balance or create unnecessary imbalance. |
| Posted by Maria Terezia Ferencz on 08/23/06 at 03:13 AM yes this is right on...meaning means nothing if not in the mind of the intender, perception is everything and nothing at the same time. |

| Posted by Dave Fitzgerald on 08/24/06 at 01:17 AM Deep. Great, and mind numbingly simple... the are a few could learn from this in todays world. |
| Posted by Michelle Angelini on 08/25/06 at 05:05 AM Point of view and perspective, yes. But I had to laugh when I read Jared's comment. I've always liked the clarity of your words and the sometimes (but not always)simple philosophy behind them. You've always made your readers think.
