What I Mean

by Ashok Sharda


Meaning finds meaning
In the meaning
I bestow

Non-issues turn large
When I insist for meaning
In the meaninglessness

I Mean

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.

Yes, it is all in ones perspective, perhaps our need for some meaning in everything that can create balance or create unnecessary imbalance.

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.

Deep. Great, and mind numbingly simple... the are a few could learn from this in todays world.

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.
