meaning is evidence of soul: for it's in the heart and mind, that meaning is conceived and perceived; meaning is soul speaking to soul.
meaning separates symbols from accidental scratches, arrangements of stones, noises and random motions.
but symbols are not meaning in themselves: they are carriers of emotions and ideas, as in a flower, or the rain, or the rising and setting of the sun.
meaning is the counterpoint of meaning: the juxtaposition of ideas and emotions, or their negations, or absence, perceived by the heart and mind, in the language of emotions and reasons.
