Read an excerpt from TheNapMinistry's book, Rest Is Resistance: 'Grind culture thrives on us remaining in our heads, unable to allow the technology of our divine bodies to soar and develop. There is massive knowledge and wisdom lying dormant.'
Photo-Illustration: The Cut; Photos: GettyA daydreaming moment I experience while grieving:
I can daydream for hours a day and vividly remember this as a daily practice since I was a child. In those daydreaming moments, I was processing my own history and imagining worlds that felt real. I was creating history as I paused and let my mind and body connect. I have always been living in between time as an artist and creative. I remember being 7 years old and sitting on the cement porch of my two-bedroom childhood home in Harvey, Illinois.
An alternative community of those curious about rest must be uplifted and seen as a possibility. In Octavia Butler’s, the young main character serves as inspiration for our dreaming: “I’m learning to fly, to levitate myself. No one is teaching me. I’m just learning on my own, little by little, dream lesson by dream lesson.” This idea of a dream lesson resonates so eloquently as motivation for beginning the unraveling and healing process.
To rest in a DreamSpace is a red brick through the glass window of capitalism. I want our intentional rest to scream at oppression on a bullhorn then emerge soft and full. Slowly whispering in a pace that feels unnecessarily slow and awkward until it becomes your heartbeat. Let the space that dreaming asks for channel you back to your true self. The tender human being bound up by a violent duty to overwork to justify your worth. The dreaming is our work. The resting is our goal.
Reading her work was the first time I began to rest in the beauty of liberation being a lifelong practice. This ultimately gave me the permission and vision to take up to dreaming.
