# Layers of Meaning

## Whispers in the Margins

Annotations are those quiet marks we leave beside the words of others. A underline here, a circled phrase there, or a scribbled thought in the white space. They're not the main story, but they make it ours. In a notebook or on a screen, they capture what resonates, what puzzles, what sparks a new idea. On annotations.md, these notes find a home in simple Markdown—plain text that layers insight without fanfare.

## Annotating Everyday Life

Think of life as a vast, shared text. Events unfold like sentences on a page: a conversation with a friend, a walk under winter sky, the weight of a quiet evening. We don't just read them; we annotate. A memory lingers as a footnote, a lesson as a highlight. These personal marks turn raw experience into something deeper, connecting the ordinary to our inner world. Over time, they build a private library of understanding, revised with each rereading.

## The Gift of Impermanence

What draws us to annotate? Perhaps it's the humility in knowing no text is final. Our notes invite others to add their own, creating a chain of quiet dialogues. In Markdown's spare form, this feels honest—no bold claims, just thoughtful traces.
