Points of interest . . . points of expansion . . .
Whilst I believe that meaning comes in the form of logic as well, I still find emotion at times more expressive of meaning.
I am inclined to agree with a concept of balance - I have found that the expression of emotion can be rational too . . .
Nearly meditative meaning . . . an expansion of meaning . . . I have found a similar thing with poetry . . .
As you say in another way: When you are able to construct meaning without the need for external coherence.

We often have a pseudo-reality that our conscious mind seems able to agree on. This could add to the explanation of the occurrence of paradoxes . . . I doubt that is what either of you are saying entirely though. I still think the scale of the gap is where imagination comes in . . .
. . . being able to construct new meaning next to reality . . . being able to make the imagining real . . .
For the new to be built, we must first deconstruct the old. To build directly on top would not create a very firm foundation. To deconstruct the old, this has to be done while it all still stands and leave the old still intact to some degree to prepare the building of the new, which is the rebuilding of all the new that has come while the oldest still stands and to bring the old into the new and make it new again while making new seem older than it is to jumpstart our own travels forward again as a species. In this, there is meaning. In this, there is even the personal meanings of rebuilding contact, rebuilding communities, rebuilding friendships; and the forging of new. This is the meaning of crafting for ourselves a new lease on life. Where does meaning come from? All around and often through whatever source we will listen to.
In this there is a great amount of meaning . . . Id est there is meaning in everything and its contrasts . . .
. . . I like the way you have written it . . . rather Socratic . . . new lease on life . . .
The secret of change is to focus all your energy, not fighting the old, but on building the new.
Old meaning meets the new to create synergy . . . and greater meaning . . . and like you stated - where does meaning come from? All around and often through whatever source we will listen to; to me could also include finding meaning in music, culture, poetry, society, science and philosophy as well as more . . .
