You Were Never Far Enough Away
The afternoon is long, and the light feels like it is hiding behind the noise of the day. You know the way back, but your feet feel heavy, stuck in the middle of a routine that has no end.
You are not lost — you are simply tired of performing the search. The truth lives in you and will be with you forever, even when you cannot feel it.
The light does not require you to climb out of this hour to find it. It is already here, in the dust and the draining tasks, waiting for you to stop looking and start remembering.
You were never far enough away to need a map.
