However it came to be that so very many were living it did come to be that some of them continuing were living. Many of them were living, and continuing, some of them came together and continued that way then. One of them was one who if she had been an amiable one would have been continuing being an amiable one and she was continuing and was being an amiable one and she had been one being an amiable one. She was not needing that thing needing being an amiable one. Not any of them were needing that thing needing being amiable ones. All of them who were being together then were continuing and she was the one who was one of them and she was continuing. She was one. She could be, she was, she would be an amiable one.

She was one. She was that one. She was continuing. She was living. She was being. She was meaning. She was remaining. She was counting. She was planning. She was having. She was pleasing. She was giving. She was keeping. She was feeling. She was worrying. She was continuing.

She was not needing to be wearing what she was not giving and getting. She was not needing to be changing what she had arranged to be changing. She was feeling in having what she was deciding to be having. She did have children. She did have a married living. She did have many living and living she was living with many and many were living. She was continuing to be counting what she was arranging. She was having what she would be doing. She was quieting what she could be feeling. She was resting what she had been feeling. She was continuing regretting what she could have been saying. She was filling everything she was arranging to be filling when she was counting.

She did have what she was being. She did give what she was offering. She did feel what she was filling. She did please in being occupying. She did do what was continuing. She did satisfy in having children. She did arrange in doing counting. She did turn in being wounding. She did consider in being forgiving. She did thank in receiving attention. She did distribute in being enjoying. She did continue in being yielding. She did remain in being sweetening. She did resist in being accepting. She did enjoy in being satisfying. She did receive in having marrying. She did continue in being affectionate in having, in giving, in receiving, in marrying, in resisting in spoiling in expecting in attending in deploring in obeying in enjoying her children. She did continue in expecting weakening. She did continue in hoping strengthening. She did continue in worrying eating. She did continue in rounding fading. She did continue in attending living. She did continue in enjoying feeling not being denying. She did continue in having been arranging to be counting worrying. She did continue in being affectionate in weakening. She did continue pleasing in declining. She did continue receiving what she would be having. She did continue having what was being. She did continue being what all of them were being who were living. She did continue being as she was being living. She did say all of enough of that thing. She did say what she said of being living. She did feel what she felt of continuing. She was what she had been in being. She was what she was and she was all there was and that was all of that one. She was continuing in arriving where she would be fading. She was weakening in aging where she would be ceasing.

She was giving what she had for giving. She was feeling what she had in being. She was receiving what she used in living. She was paying in every day arranging.

She was filling what was not needing emptying. She was deciding what would not have been changing. She was keeping what was not gathering. She was renewing what was continuing.

She was being and she was living. She was having what was enjoying. She was doing what was collecting. She was giving what was continuing. She was receiving what was gathering. She was hearing what was sounding. She was losing what was fading. She was saying which was enjoying and conditioning. She was accepting which was pleasing. She was resenting which was resisting. She was suffering which was accusing. She was worrying which was counting. She was reflecting which was grieving. She was being which was accepting. She was laughing which was completing.

If there were many and there are many, if there were many then some of them would be satisfying any one and some of them are not satisfying any one and some of them are satisfying any one. And any one who is satisfied by some of them is satisfied because they are satisfactory the ones that satisfy them.

One to be satisfying must be satisfying. One is satisfying. That one being satisfying and not deceiving and not beguiling and not resisting only detaining is one completing being that one being satisfying. That one being one and being satisfying is being the one being completely satisfying. Completing satisfaction is completely being that one.

There are some being living, there are those and those all of them are doing what they are doing. One of them is one being an old one and having come then to be receiving worrying about coming to be a sick one. She has been one who has come to something.
