ON THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN INFORMATION & MEANING
Filed under: General
Posted by: @ 8:29 am

We rehearse information,
but perform meaning.

Information is like the web of links in a wire fence;
Meaning is like the delicate ice crystals
that appear out of the blue on a January morning.

One we can stitch together endlessly,
capturing what we’re looking for,
and keeping out what we don’t want in.

The other, just by touching it,
vanishes before our eyes.
