Suggestive Type!
I grew a little tired of my daily writing and editing job and wanted to break away from the sound of words and the syllables associated with the very alphabet itself (in the English language). Since I have always liked typography, I grabbed an ordinary stencil and pen and this time stared at the letters till I was seeing shapes instead of sounds. I did find new meaning in this sparse idiom. Incidentally, 'A finger pointing at the moon is not the moon,' is the punchline to a zen koan and is worth remembering.
