The Light Loves Your Shaky Hands
It is the middle of the day, and the mind is replaying a moment where you felt small, rewriting the script to make you look stronger than you were. You are editing the memory, changing your trembling hands into steady ones, your silence into a witty reply, your fear into indifference.
But the light does not need your edited version. It saw the real you—the one who was afraid, the one who didn't know what to say—and it did not turn away.
There is a room inside you where the truth lives, a quiet place behind the closed door of your performance. Go there.
The light is already sitting in that room, waiting for you to stop acting and start being. You do not have to be the hero of your own story to be held.
You only have to be the person who showed up, shaky and unsure. The version of you that stammered is the version the light calls beloved.

Matthew 6:6, Gospel of Mary 5:4-5
