Wow..very interesting. I love that it makes me think. I may have to give this a day or two to find the true meaning..I like this..
thanks for entering, I'm glad I've got a write that really catches my curiousity. Feel free to chat about it, if you feel like giving more insight. Thanks and Good luck

The meaning lies in the fact that there are more than one, and not one is necessarily true, but all of them could be given a context. It's a demonstration of perspective, and how the lack of tone in writing leaves what we think of any writing, how we take it, largely up to us.

Most of what I had to say is in the comments. It's just a little phrase that was banging around in my head. Most of my writing is philosophical, through much gen-x angst and cynicism.

Interesting ...
And it truly depends how one reads this ... For the truth is: God is the Infinite Nothing, and for HIM even the smallest, and seemingly insignificant something, is of infinite importance.
You make me think, as always, Wayne.
Thank you.

I wrote this...and it's been banging around in my head for awhile...and I thought I might follow it up with more, but it's quite singular. It's like an optical illusion you look at it one way and see one thing, you look at another and you see something else.
It's my impression of post-modernist philosophy, which just bathes in contradiction.
Thanks for reading. I'm up to page 15 in the book. I feel ignorant for asking, but what's the second language? I thought it was latin, but I'm not well versed in languages. I am largely monolinguistic...to my loss. -

I agree with you on the complexity of this seemingly simple statement ...
one may write several parables on this. It may even be the title of a book.
I think perhaps this is what poetry is truly about: to unlock impossible possibilities in order to turn it to possible impossibilities.

Ah.
I know only snippets of so little. But all of you expand my perceptions ... The second language is my first language, called Afrikaans. It looks beautiful, not so? If you look closely, you may see very many root words from other languages. Afrikaans is a most textured language, and not so difficult in structure as say German or even French ...
Soon you will say HALLO in Afrikaans, which IS Afrikaans!

Thank you. mnemonically is it AFRI-KAY-ANS? Or something else...Oddly enough this info isn't in wikipedia. I've never heard of it. But I've learned much about it in a very short while. I do like asseblief...
A tome of tolerance.
Will research the language more.
Thanks for turning me on to it.
