The Light Holds You When Silence Fails
The afternoon stretches out, a long middle where you hold your breath to keep the chaos from spilling over. You believe your silence is a shield, that if you stop moving, the people around you will stay safe from the storm inside.
But the light does not ask you to be still to be loved — it asks you to be real. There is a peace that is not the absence of trouble, but the presence of something greater right in the center of the mess.
You do not have to carry the weight of everyone's safety on your shoulders. The light is already holding them.
And it is holding you. Your silence is not the anchor.
The light is.
