Stop Guarding the Door to Your Heart
The afternoon demands a performance, so you rehearse every sentence in the silence of your mind before you speak. You filter out the hunger, the exhaustion, the raw truth, terrified that one unguarded word will make them walk away.
But the light does not need your polished script. It came from the place where light generates itself, and it lives in you as that same self-sustaining fire.
You are not a hollow vessel trying to sound full; you are a drop from the source, sent here to illuminate the very things you are hiding. Stop guarding the door.
The one who stands there knows your hunger better than you do, and he is not leaving because of it.
