no for showing, yes for being, no for looking, yes for doing
It does make a lot of difference …
What to do with our bodies, and what choices do we have except to exist and witness the ever-changing mark of time on us. What else other than 'becoming' what we have never been before. Extending the limits of our being and transcending our everyday presence. We have nothing else other than our decisions, choices, and actions.
