I will make what they create.

:- Doug.

Notice the poetry from the last few days: I have chosen small things and concrete. Just here are the shared, the common, the things which come to our hands, to which we all belong, which remind us of our belonging.

:- Doug.

Even if we can or can never know these things—meaning, long, deep—is there worth in proceeding beyond knowing, beyond even the desire to know?

:- Doug.

What long views can we find in conversation? Long in the sweep of history: time. Long in what all is taken in: spatial width, depth, height. Long outside time: now, eternity. Long outside space: one, universe. Long as a force co-extensive with the universe, maybe long is the stuff of the universe. Long outside the players while including them. Surely long is longer than these.

:- Doug.

If I were to write a chapter or a section of a chapter on the role of meaning in conversation, how could it be done to make it other than a chore and a bore?
