The possibility of changing meaning in light of space and place.
The author considers the possibility of changing meaning in light of space and place. Many questions are raised, including a fundamental question: If we simply choose the meaning of space and place based on personal knowing, regardless of the space and place we are in, does space and place really matter with regard to the possibility of changing meaning? Many possibilities of changing meaning in light of space and place are explored, including the influence of personal knowing, new life experiences and understandings, changes to space and place, unique languaging in space and place, imaging space and place, and engaging in the wonder and mystery of space and place beyond this realm. The possibility of changing meaning is significant in that new meanings open doors to different choices-and living choices is living health.
