We Can Do Hard Things
No More Grind: How to Finally Rest with Tricia Hersey (Best Of)

Absolutely.

We Can Do Hard Things
No More Grind: How to Finally Rest with Tricia Hersey (Best Of)

Yes, it is. It's imagination work. It's dream work. It's bending time. I believe when we rest, we bend time. We queer time. We allow for a new way to be made. And I love this idea when I think about reparations and I have a poem where I talk about this and I say, I will recapture the dream space that was stolen from you. We'll be resurrected in our dreams.

And so for me to be able to recapture the dream space that was stolen from my ancestors in this dimension in the now is, to say rest was stolen from you, your whole autonomy as a human was stolen from you, what could they have figured out if they were more rested? I believe that my answer just probably could have had really detailed and more unique ways of escaping if they were rested.

I think about Harriet Tubman and her Underground Railroad and her prophecy of saying, my people are free. You know, she was screaming, my people are free. She woke up from a dream one day and it's documented. She was like, my people are free. She said it in this tense. It wasn't, they're going to be free. They're free now. So this prophecy, the prophetic idea that we are free now, that

The now is this is now. We don't have to wait for anyone to tell us that, to give us that. And I think about her stopping on the Underground Railroad, walking to freedom and not having a map, not having a written map. But she did have a map. She had her internal spiritual map and she had the stars. So she was a beautiful astronomer and she could track stars and track the sky.

But it's written that she stopped to pray so many times that there was no rush anymore. Even trying to run to freedom. It was freedom of death. If they were caught, they would be killed.
