HEART OPENING: Some Thoughts about Inclusiveness and Meaning

IMAGE: A giant heart reflected on an ocean with mysterious purple skies.

Miok: 	(looking at an image) Does this image say anything to you?

Tim: 	(suppressing surprise) Why should imagines need words? Our culture verbalizes 
        too much. I'm happy to appreciate it in silence.

Miok: 	Yeah, but I'm curious about what it means.

Tim: 	Who says meaning is necessary? More often than not, so-called "meaning" is like 
        the dead skin of a snake: by the time you idenity it, the living essence of 
        what it was has moved far away.
