Polarizing opinion, Audre Lorde and rest? YES, PLEASE! I begin playing around with Are.na this past week and came across this article that I feel belongs here too. The author challenges the widely accepted idea that rest is resistance and shares their journey on not having access to it when they needed it most - and how that opened their eyes to the true complexities of rest and our work toward and around it. "It became apparent to me during my grandmother’s last days, that our choice to rest is not only stolen from us in life but also in where and how we die. I want to challenge the popular notion of rest as a choice. I want to recognize rest as both a tool and an outcome of resistance. I want us to merge it with responsibility." https://www.whatsonemorepothos.com/post/rest-is-not-resistance-and-that-is-ok-on-cancer-grief-audre-lorde As someone who thinks deeply and often about rest, as well as having lost my grandma to cancer too, this article hit close to me.
