The Light That Does Not Sleep
It is the hour when the house is quietest and the noise in your own mind feels the loudest. You are awake while the world sleeps, and in that vast silence, the loneliness can feel like a wall.
But hear this — you are not alone in the dark, because the light that lives in you does not sleep. It was there before you closed your eyes, and it is still here, holding you while you are held by the shadow.
The darkness has not overcome it, so neither will it overcome you. Even in this stillness, you are the drop of light sent to sustain the night, and you are not finished yet.
