Please Please Please Know That Resting Is Beautiful
please please know that resting is beautiful
please please allow me the space of telling u what we know
of telling u what rest is and how it is best to rest
of telling u that resting is beautiful
please please please know that everything but rest is conventional
please please show me what we know, that rest is more than radical
please please join this voice shining through itself
and admit as admittance does that rest flowers
that resting alone is beautiful
in the same way that grothendieck recognised in interim moments that his relaxation
around mathematical proofs was infinitely more than a theory of topology
and so rested
set theory has no praxis
poetry contains no praxis
in case u missed that
let it sink in for a lifetime
in case u missed that
please please please let it sink in for a lifetime
(as I am trying to do)
please please see this
please please let it sink in
let it sink in for one lifetime
(as I am trying to do)
please please allow it
please please allow it for a trillion lifetimes
(as I am trying to do)
politics above all contains no praxis
please please please let it help u for a lifetime to know this
yes yes yes yes yes yes just rest
and the rest will be ok
please please know that rest is best
a voice says
‘who am i to rest if there are others who cannot rest and know it is ok’
a voice says
‘who am i to rest if the rest can’t rest’
a voice says
‘what will the rest do if i rest’
please please see there is no connection at all between wanting others to rest and my own rest
please see that the idea that i cannot rest till all may rest brings no rest at all
please please see that the only rest that can be of any help to the rest is my own
please please please know how u are radically beautiful
please please please know u are radically beautiful
in showing me the name
in showing me the name
please please please know that u are radically beautiful
and radically accepting
in showing me showing me showing me showing the name
the same
and
that the only thing to do to be of help
is to give urself up as lost and rested
and dispossessed in and as rest
and in and as beautiful mess
and in and as rest for the sake of the other in urself
that u are radically beautiful and that u are of help
another voice says
‘please please know that the first touch was a dream
please please know that we awoke and three signs appeared to us: the lightning, the apple and the star
please please know that i lost my life gracefully and everything i did was sensuality and forgiveness
please please know that it is necessarily impossible that the situation will change
please please know that ultimately, any striving for communitarian, authentic and small-scale communities abdicates a commitment to humanity
please please see how everywhere, suddenly, magic diagrams of pure clear sound exude hyper-perfection
please please say what u already say in me that all of the universe is the expanse of hyper-perfection
please please know that unworkable social ideologies are all outsourced in the colourless star of sound, whether ugly or beautiful
please please repeat what u told me that in uncorrected sounds is found uttermost perfection
please please repeat the song of how the entire history of everything is evenly illumined
please please say again how u suddenly wondered why in the world anyone would ever write anything
please please remind me of how u as well as me were too absorbed by the cosmic spectacle of a once-in-an-aeon pan-biotic takedown to consider or want “escape”
please please please know that the compromising of a sense of legitimacy for strategy is devastating and goes mostly unappreciated
please please please please repeat after me cirrus, socrates, particle, decibel, hurricane, dolphin, tulip, monica, david, monica
please please please please respect that thing that was said on the roof about being glad his friend is dead and how he wishes he were dead too but we’re here right now make the best of it took a lot of notes, that was !!!!!
please please know my research speciality: identifying unknown feather samples retrieved from aircraft engines
please please know that i want to be totally one with u, and take in ur gaze in a great hearted way, because that is what i am here for
please please know that i want to be in love in this place
please please please know that in the great hearted love i have in this place, my fear of extinction evaporates in the infinite light of the view
please please remember and recall that the three lines are: waste gang, apple-star and the mind of infinite open intelligence
please please know with me what u know, that the teacher cannot come with us, that in this moment there opens a circular rainbow, that i am in the teacher
please please know that the four lines are: simplicity, pain, falling in love, mary corleone
please please know that i want the world to get better as a world, not as a sum of units
please please remember everywhere at the end of time at once
please please remember that
only that is beautiful
please please
know’
a voice says
‘but i could spend that time being with and as the loving mind of open intelligence
which is like stringing golden beads on the chain of heavenly being
the golden lineage accruing, the golden lineage always adding up
so why should i read this, why should i do anything but be with you
with you, the secret within the universe’
another voice says
‘the poet puzzles about how stopping can take place
because they are trying to answer the problem of stopping inside poems
life is taken for granted as a reflection of poetry and vice versa
but the only stopping is praxis (relaxation, dzogchen, and rest)’
another voice says
‘what is the problem of stopping
inside poems
what is the problem of sleeping inside poems’
please please see and say as u do with me that poems are never praxis
and politics is never praxis
so this is a confusion
please please please see that one can’t stop poems and do politics
and one can’t do poems while still doing politics
both of them are still data, and not the praxis-resting of infinite open mind
a voice says
‘are you saying that rest is only possible when the rest can’t rest?’
an example, even silent, and lazy, speaks for far longer than any amount of action and pointing
please please know that rest is always best
if action then needs to arise, it may do so from within primary rest
if action needs to arise
it may do so within the primary yes
a voice says
‘but are u saying that the rest is always the best way to rest’
please please know that rest is best
and busy is best within rest
a voice says
‘or that i should rest whether it is best for the rest that they rest
the great res(e)t
what have i been doing with the gift of quarantine not resting’
the decision to wait till all may rest before i may rest is just that, a determination to wait to see if my own rest is possible, in which case i never know, and nobody knows whether any rest is possible, for me or the rest
a voice says
‘what is the difference between resting and waiting then?’
o rest o beautiful rest of rest
rest speaks louder than action and words
between deciding to rest and deciding to wait
ur worried about sleeping?
a voice says
‘is the decision to rest more important than rest
i have been worried about sleeping for 3+ months’
‘fidelity to the wound’ needs to be shone through with rest
a voice says
‘i fear that when i rest i sleep and that the two are wholly distinct’
imagine a situation in which everyone is resting but you, would you then rest?
rest is agile, clear, neither active nor passive
rest is an ocean wave that covers and becomes a body
please please know that it is safe to rest, whether u sleep or not
not resting, when u truly rest, can be full of rest forever
resting leaves no trace at all
please please please know that rest is beautiful
