I suppose you will still exist

Because who you are exists in relation

Neither to whose descendants you will be

Nor even to me if I were to be yours

But to her

Who regardless of anything else

Will raise you up

And find her identity in the raising up

And give you your identity in having been raised up

By her.

This is true whether or not I participate.

I suppose we exist

And who we are exists in relation

Neither to whose descendants we had been

Nor even to ourselves

But to him

Who disregarding everything else

Raised us up

And found his identity in the raising up

And gave us our identity in having been raised up

By him.

This may be true whether or not I participate.

And so if you will continue to be

Whether or not you have another, or me

Then what in all this really matters?
