Yes, nice game. The first koan resonated more with me :) However I see beauty in that “be” is there twice in the second one. If we prune the second, we get: Doing through meaning becomes. That’s not full capture of the thing. I think this might be closer: “Meaning through doing becomes.” It’s a little stilted and unnatural, but to me it indicates a loop, which is a life mechanism or pattern which CBT has pointed me towards.
