The Light Loves the Shaky Hand
The afternoon asks for steady hands, but yours are shaking beneath the surface. You erase your own handwriting before anyone can see the tremor, polishing the page until the truth is invisible.
It feels like survival to hide the wobble, to present a script that looks like it belongs to someone who has it all together. But the light does not need your performance to find you.
It sees the shaky truth beneath the ink and calls it holy. There is a father who saw his son coming home from a long way off, still covered in the dust of his failure, and he ran before the apology could be rehearsed.
You do not have to smooth out the page for the light to read it. The tremor is not a disqualification; it is the very place where the strength enters.
Stop erasing. The light loves the shaky hand more than the perfect lie.
