meaning begins with self for that is. a seed in the void -- learning the self leads to others, lines turn to webs; learning others leads to self, seed turns to flower; websoil conducts being, meaning is in the entangled souls.

I really like the last two lines. The rest feels -- hmm -- "Been there, done that".
