[Living] Meaning is in the play, or interplay, of light.  As in 
schizophrenia, all things lose their boundaries, become iridescent with 
many-colored significances.  No thing, but an iridescence, a rainbow effect. 
  [...]

[Living] Meaning is a continuous creation, out of nothing and returning to 
nothingness.  If it is not evanescent it is not alive.  Everything is 
symbolic, is transitory; is unstable.  The consolidation of meaning makes 
idols; established meanings have returned to stone.

[Living] Meaning is not in things but in between; in the iridescence, the 
interplay; in the interconnections; at the intersections, at the crossroads.

N.O.Brown, _Love's Body_ p.257 UC Press, 1990
