This closing chapter argues for the adoption of Gelassenheit, a releasement towards things, in order to access poiēsis and productive seeing. In an era noted for its rampant skepticism and widespread lack of confidence, we should be mindful of how our everyday being-in-the-world reveals the way we ongoingly identify with the world through our dwelling practices, particularly in ways that cultivate social cohesion and solidify communal relationships across a vast array of interconnected planes. The book concludes by advising us to take careful note of the invitation we have received, an invitation to recognize and appreciate how our purposive movements allow us to become involved and invested in meaningful worlds.
