What Is Not a Thing Cannot End
Lo que no es una cosa no puede terminar
A meditation and dialogue session exploring the illusion of permanence and thingness, including the subtlest sense of self as just another appearance. The conversations move through softening into not knowing, the difference between playful curiosity and contracted seeking, and the recognition that intimacy and okayness are already present beneath the sense of something missing.
