Re: [-empyre-] matter and meaning

Hi Cristiano,

I seem to have a wider sense for meaning.
Many artpieces do mean "something" for me even when I am not able to express
this meaning in word in an adequate form.

NO MEANING - NO CONTENT messages are therefore somehow boring for me.

Why talking, communicating, creating when there is no meaning or content?

Even an empty box has content. ;) (in the sound of silence)

Tanti saluti

Reiner
