Variant Definitions: Essays and Ruminations

What follows are a collection of personal essays that focus on close examinations of shifting meaning. Many essays are intensely focused on aesthetics, from the aesthetic elegance of idealized love, through art, to what personal meaning for which people live. Aestheticism seems an ideal that is to be strived for, but never attained. The included essays focus on the disparity between the banality of a lived life and perceived elegance.
