— The Instability of Meaning —

* Next post in The Missing Step Series *

Words seem solid.

They give the impression of clarity.
Definition.
Precision.

You say something, and it appears to mean something.

But if you look closely, that meaning is not as stable as it seems...

Fragen und Antworten

Dschuang Dsi: (Eine taoistische Erläuterung des Mondo): Wer auf Fragen über Tao antwortet, der versteht das Tao nicht … Es ist unmöglich, sich über Tao zu erkundigen, und es gibt keine Antworten auf solche Fragen. Fragen zu stellen, die nicht beantwortet werden können, ist töricht.

Wer Fragen beantwortet, auf die es keine Antwort gibt, dem mangelt es an innerer Erfahrung. Die Toren und jene, denen innere Erkenntnis fehlt, haben nie die innersten Kräfte des Universums geschaut und sie wissen nichts vom Uranfang. Sie gelangen niemals über den heiligen Kun Lun Berg (Berg der Götter) hinüber, um sich aufzuschwingen in die äußerste Leere, in das Nichts.(Kap. XXII)

Sir Wahnfried was the odd member of our Lady Joan's fellowship. He kept to himself and never joined the gatherings in the Great Hall. Every day he posted news on his meals, which were simple and varied little.

"G'Morning, Fedifellows, breakfast time. Porridge today.", he posted every morning.

Occasionally he also posted in the evening. "Dinner time, my Fedifriends, mutton stew today. May you all stay healthy."

The knights ignored him mostly, though there were those who faithfully boosted each of his toots. When he mentioned a special dish, there was some friendly banter in the replies. His toot about his Apple Crumble went viral, surpassing even Sir Galahad's Ode to the Hashtag.

The Young Turks liked to make fun of him. "Do a Wahnfried" became a popular putdown for a while.

One evening when his name came up, our Lady Joan spoke. "Toot as Wahnfried toots, my friends, and we will all be alright." The knights asked her to explain, but she would not expand.
