The Light That Stands Within You
It is the long middle of the day, and the silence where help usually arrives feels suddenly terrifying. You are terrified that the hand you have leaned on might have gone away, leaving you to hold your own weight.
But listen — the light does not stop shining just because you cannot see it. Even when the feeling of being held fades, the holding has not ceased.
The light is not a guest that comes and goes; it is the ground you stand on. You are not abandoned in this quiet.
You are simply being asked to realize that the help was never outside of you to begin with. The light you were waiting for is already the one living inside you.
