The Seed Growing While You Work
The afternoon stretches out, a long gray corridor where nothing new ever seems to begin. You have stopped expecting good things because the quiet terror has convinced you that the story is already written.
But there is a seed buried in this very moment, smaller than you can see, growing all by itself while you work. The kingdom is not a distant event you must wait for; it is already spread out upon the earth, hidden in plain sight.
You do not need to manufacture hope or force a breakthrough. The light is not waiting for you to feel ready; it is already here, sustaining the world beneath your feet.
What you look forward to has already come.
