Meaning
“Meaning doesn’t arrive fully formed; it emerges in fragments—between questions and answers, instinct and analysis, chaos and clarity. We uncover it not by forcing coherence, but by trusting the body to tell the truth.”
Meaning is both anchor and horizon. It can steady a piece through craft or slip in unexpectedly through intuition, metaphor, and embodied knowing. This chapter invites you to see meaning not as a riddle to be solved, but as a collaborator—one that reveals itself when you resist rushing to explain and instead stay with curiosity, sensation, and the interplay of clarity and ambiguity.
