WHERE IS MEANING FOUND? "Vanity of vanities, all is vanity." ...so opens the ever-provocative "Qoheleth" of Ecclesiastes. Inside this little book we find a view of life "under the sun", calling into question that which we pursue to the detriment of all else. To strive for meaning is to join a universal race. We all want the good life, but it can feel as though we chase after it like someone running after a gust of wind. Why? Nearly 75 years ago, John Steinbeck penned his magnum opus, "East of Eden", chronicling two intermingled families under the sun, playing on themes of restlessness, purpose, meaning, redemption, and "hevel", that enigmatic little word that haunts Ecclesiastes. Join us on March 26 as we explore aspects of the meaningful and where it is found, as we place Qoheleth's "Ecclesiastes" in conversation with Steinbeck's "East of Eden". We'll have an evening of lively discussion, libations, debate, and readings aloud as continue our salon series: How to Survive the Coming AI Utopocalypse[0]. This event is *free* for Tillage members, $35 for non-members.
