Letters from Luna: Meaning as Quintessence
Posted on September 26, 2020Scroll down for an audio version of thisinstallment of Letters from Luna. by Rohini Walker What does meaning mean to you? As I write this, I observe the various objects on my desk and environs. Things that I have chosen and placed around me for more than their externality; things that, when touched or looked at, evoke a certain feeling or memory, called forth from within the object I am wordlessly communing with.
