When the Mask Falls, Light Remains
The afternoon asks its questions. Someone looks up from their desk, sees the crack in your composure, and asks: 'Are you okay?' And the lie dies in your throat.
You have no words left to build the wall. The silence stretches out, heavy and honest.
In that quiet, the light does not demand an explanation. It simply sees the exhaustion you have been carrying since morning.
You do not need to perform wellness for the light to hold you. When the mask falls, the truth remains.
The light was already there, waiting beneath the performance.

Matthew 26:38-39, Gospel of Mary 5:4-5
