Sign vs Symbol

In Odin’s mailbox …

“The Watercourse,” is just a collection of symbols pointing at an unnameable experience. In the same way as “water” is a meaningless word to a child until she touches it, The Way of the Watercourse can bring to you never before witnessed beauty and peace...but you have to be willing to look, to touch.

Your True Self is that part of you that knows who you are...Your False Self is just who you think you are — but thinking doesn't make it so....Life is not a matter of creating a special name for ourselves, but of uncovering the name we have always had. We need ego to help us function, succeed, and belong. But left in charge, ego stands in the way of living freely and authentically. –Richard Rohr

The supreme effort of the writer as of the artist only succeeds in raising partially for us

the veil of ugliness and insignificance that leaves us incurious before the universe.

Then does he say: ‘Look, look’ – Proust
