It has been complex to choose the path through which to write about\u00a0<em>Being<\/em>. This time I don&#039;t want to theorize about concepts I&#039;ve read and borrowed. Although my writing, of course, is about linking: my writing is not alone. But this time I want \u2013 and choose \u2013 to give myself over to the sensation of seeing, feeling and hearing again and again.\u00a0<em>Being<\/em>. I find in that sensitivity more questions than I can perhaps put into this text. That perceptive, tactile, affective, sensorial language that is only found in the intangible of the sensitive experience. Like the rain that caresses the rock. I am the rock, in this case, in front of the 3 minutes in black and white that I observe on my screen. Or so I want to believe.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Being&nbsp;<\/em>as a continuous manifestation of the body, of the course of affective, energetic, physical fluctuations; always changing.&nbsp;<em>Being&nbsp;<\/em>like the expectation of an imminent event, transformation, perhaps.&nbsp;<em>Being<\/em>&nbsp;as (im)permanence, as recognition and interconnection with life and its manifestations, with that which makes it possible and which does not end; as the Tibetan monk Th\u00edch Nh\u1ea5t H\u1ea1nh says:&nbsp;<em>manifestation is simply a change of form.&nbsp;<\/em>The form is continuous and interconnected, like Marian&#039;s voice that resonates within me:&nbsp;<em>the trans experience through the ages;&nbsp;<\/em>and I think \u2013 and feel \u2013 that this experience is the memory that precedes us, it is ancestral and it is endless.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Estando was part of the Ambulante festival program, which visits San Miguel de Allende this weekend with La danza de los Mirlos, which will be presented at Sal\u00f3n Semilla on Saturday, August 31 at 4 pm.
