What Is Meaning?

What is meaning?

What does it mean to be asking?

What is the meaning of life?

What even is meaning?

And what even is life?

I mine my heart for answers as it somehow seems to know if I have found meaning or where I should go looking.

If I try to hold on to meaning,

There's never enough.

But the more meaning I give to someone else,

The more I have for myself.

Meaning is in the eye of the beholder.

My inner eye must look within to find the wellspring of compassion from where I create things,

Ideas,

Connections,

Or a new way.

When I create,

Meaning won't be far.

And so I've found meaning is a feeling.

And feelings come and go.

I will not chase it.

I will just watch.

And let this game of life unfold,

One precious moment at a time.
