Things of great significance in our lives come to us cloaked in ignorance. Even more, everything comes into my life shrouded by ignorance, which I paw away by thinking and acting, never very sure or certain about it.

I've already suggested the first of three big areas of meaning that I think have arisen for me in the course of my thinking and acting.

And while we're at it, let's put down to more currently empty phrases—
