Pour
Empty the working memory. Anything on your mind goes in, unsorted, unedited — the act of writing it down is the whole point.

the mind at rest
Offload your mind.
Let it work in the dark.
Marginalia holds everything you can't keep in your head. Pour in the half-thoughts, the questions, the loose ends. The connections surface on their own, quietly, while you rest.
Rest your mindthree quiet movements
Settle
Leave it. Notes find their neighbors over time, without effort on your part — the way a dream arranges the day while you sleep.
ii
Surface
Return to find the connection that was forming all along. You don't retrieve it. You recognize it, already made.
iii
The mind that forgets nothing cannot rest. A second brain remembers, so the first can sleep.
