You may
be wondering why I write something about “Meander”. Acturally, I don’t know,
eiter. But what I can only say that as far as I knew “meander”, I found the
defination was not detailed enough to contain its every meaning. As known, in
art and architecture, meander is a decotative border constructed from a
continuous line, shaped into a repeated theme; in mythology, Meander is a river
god who protects the Maeander River in Turkey; in general, meander is a bend in
sinuous watercourse and it is formed when the moving water in a stream erodes
the outer banks and widens its valley. However, those explanations are not complete
for my meander. I think meander appears everywhere in our life.

Meander
appears in our talk. If someone died, we are not willing to say he died
straightly, for instead, we would say he passed away. This is what I say
“meander in talk”. A large number of people would not say something bad in a
direct way, so they change a way to express. We can still use “he died” as an
example, there are many ways to say “die”, such as, he is sleeping forever”,
“he leaves forever” or “ he lives in our memory”. Nevertheless, “meander in
talk” cannot be applied for everything. If you make a definition for a word or
explan a topic, you are expected to give esstentials in simple language and use
a few simple remarks, insteading of using tons of obscure words. At this
moment, if you use “meander”, your audiences will be confused.

Meander
appears in our writing. For one aspect, meander in writing is like meander in
talk, people change the way they write and use another way to desicribe. So now, we forcus on the other aspect.
Creating terror is the most important step in the process of creating horror
fiction, and “meander” will make it succeed. When you read a horror story, you will find that author
hardly give a clear description to the mysterious character, and everything
seems in fog. By the “meander in writing” in horror fiction, readers are thirst
for the ending so that they will finish the story soon. Overall, it is “meander
in writing” that makes horror stories more attractive.
Meander
appears in the whole process of our life. Because of the meander made by river,
we get to kown how to enjoy the scenery along the river bank (not the
destanation, but the mood of enjoying the scenery along the way); because of
the meander in life (like the setback in life), we get to know how to face with
seperation between friends or family members; because of the meander in love
(like the hinder in being in love), we get to know how to cherish the moment
the one stay with us (the blog, happy life:one gal's plunge into the present, shows a great article about love).

In my
opinion, meander appears everywhere. You don’t know, just since you didn’t
notice. If you pay more attention, you will find that meander in talk is a way
of talking with implied meaning, meander in writing is a way of using “unclear”
words to set a “clear” and attrative
atmosphere for a story, meander in life is challenge and hinder during
our life.
Being even slightly musically inclined, I understand what you mean completely. There are many things that we see everyday, but not see to a point of appreciation or understanding. I personally believe there's many sounds that we pass by without even giving them a single thought; the sound of the rain or wind, birds chirping in the trees, a pencil scratching against paper. It'd be difficult to imagine life without these sorts of things. All sorts of "meander" pass by us every day and only so many of them are properly appreciated. Thank you for shining some light on such a significant part of our world.
