rene, letting things be the things they are being (in their emergency and
submergency), and, (not) willing not-willing (not) in order for beings just
to be, is as you say, surely not anything to do with re-presentation or
willing but can not come for us moderns except by way of such representation
and will. Is this non-problem (it is not a problem since that involves
something to be dis-solved, nihilated {finding a solution} rather than
deepening the question, the questioning of which makes us human) not the
same as the not-taking of no sides that I have been trying to think under
the rubric of "peace"? Gelassenheit is only difficult to conceive because it
cannot be gathered under the auspices of a concept, it can not be grasped
because it involves the radical non-grasping of being(s). Can this be
'achieved' via the language of metaphysics? Can we conceive of the
non-conceptuality of this non-process? Can we let beings be without LETTING
beings be? I allow the zen garden to come and plant itself in its
growingness: allowance... letting go what comes and goes; let(ting) it
be(ing).

a mite too much wine, but
