Sage Price
1. Humanness is performed in the hopes it will make us other.
1. Desire is innate when it is felt and not conjured by the mind.
1. Un-performing is achieved through acknowledging a performance of self and abandoning it.
1. Or leaning in to it.
1. Un-performing can impart after-art.
1. An after-art is the residue of desire and action.
1. The Unself is the body shed of performance.
1. Un-performing isn't limited by the need to observe a performance of the self.
