as absence: "as absent from the expanse, it presents itself in unconcealment". Then couldn't one say that what is recognized as concealed is upon this recognition, out of this recognition, unconcealed as concealed?
self-revealing loves to conceal itself
Heraclitus. As if the bringing-forth of originary differentiation and hence determination, phusis, wants to remain a mystery. Birth, blossoming, growth: How? Why? A mystery that eludes explanation.
Indeterminate is a determination, a characteristic nevertheless
Some say we cannot say anything about something - yet that we cannot say anything about that something is nevertheless saying something about that something.

The End is Endless
Like a boundary being 'not where something stops but...that from which something begins its presencing (BDT (BWD) pg 154). Here it is not only the boundary's but also that beyond the boundary's absencing that begins. That is, not only does the end itself begin to withdraw into concealment but also withdrawing is what the end begins: the end begins the withdrawing of the ending, an ending that comes after the end and never itself ends, an ending of the end that comes after itself, never coming to an end. For the end is only a beginning, a beginning of the end. But what if time itself were to end? It would be the beginning of the end of time, as if time were to continue on without itself. When anything "ends" that must have been the end, for if it were to start up again it never would have properly ended in the first place. It would be an end that lasts forever.
