SUMMARY
Faced with illness, Barry Long reiterates the value of acknowledging the good, refraining from judgment, and realising the timeless, impersonal nature of love and being.
Through accounts of his own body, Barry Long invites the audience to dwell in the unwavering state of being, to recognise the immortality of emotion, and to sink beneath suffering rather than resist it.
Barry emphasises the futility of clinging to thought and memory, and champions the return to being as the means to joy, freedom, and true love—ending with a reminder of the universality of love beyond the personal.
