"So what is this mysterious thing calling Meaning?" In her newest book, The Little Book on Meaning: Why We Crave It, How We Create It, Fortgang writes, "It's something we humans all want . . . Meaning is something we feel more than something we do. Meaning is a state of consciousness. It comes tumbling forth from connection-to ourselves, each other, the earth, spirit, work, or even an inanimate object. A necklace is not meaningful in itself, but when we connect with the time, place, and person who gave it to us, it takes on a new specialness. It takes on meaning. It enters our consciousness as something precious we will take care with."
