    Meaning is not something to search for. If life seems meaningless, searching makes that worse. Better to notice and allow the meanings that are everywhere, even if they seem trivial and inadequate. Attention, appreciation, and involvement with details intensifies meaning.pic.twitter.com/GrNf1XSsRY

        Yes, yes! Letting myself “get into” rather trivial things has turned into rich sources of meaning. Idly noticing birds to intense birdwatching & ecosystem reflections; not wishing plums to go to waste to a learning about safe canning & food preservation & deep pleasure of making

        And every kind of craft-work uncovers whole ways of being/knowing/thinking. Spinning on a drop spindle developed my appreciation for fairy tales & industrial fabric production. Baking bread, mending clothes, programming, photography-everything opens a world

        There is no way to have a sense of possibility in the abstract, without having first a sense of deep involvement with the world.

        I'm split on interpreting this. It makes me think of something like an alternate 'metabolic pathway' for the production of meaning: that we should allow ourselves to come in contact with experiential meaning, rather than seeking a desirable framework, which'd keep us abstracted.

        On the other hand, I'm less certain that's valid if I draw a distinction between meaning itself vs the fruits of meaning. Maybe meaning *is* only an abstract interpretational thing, and certain experiences become unlocked by attainment. The alternate pathways may be to the fruits
