Thank you Max! what a beautiful reflection for a day like today, for a time like these times. I will reflect on it the rest of the day, specially striking to me is the relationship you bridge between Mary and Eve. Loved the icon! May be because english is not my first language *its Spanish( or it just might be pure ignorance but what do you mean by Who-ness? I know one ness or other ness...my brain is having a hard time tryin to imagine it...which might be good!

Have a nice, warmly lighted christmas eve..

thank you for the comment.

by “who-ness” i had in mint something like the experience of selfhood or subjectivity. how would you say that in spanish?

Advent blessings to you

Hi

yes, that much I had gathered but i thought that you were pointing to some subtle difference or direction to it.

I can't translate it to spanish, if it is a term coined by philosophers or poets so there might be a sort of translation somewhere....like otherness: otredad. But I don't know it.

The fact that it is originally meant to be a question is unsettling but i have been trying to picture it and it is kind of interesting...but anyway. that's that.
