You seem to be seeking a specific knowledge about a subjective practice. l don't have a better word for what you are talking about because I don't understand why you are trying to get a fix on something as fluid and relative as use and meaning are.

The word "use" here isn't quite what you think it is. If you have a better word for what I'm talking about here, I'd love to hear it.

We remind ourselves that we are the life the beauty, the purpose, and not simply a busy animal climbing a ladder of infinite rungs to someday.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01683471351334850449noreply@blogger.com
