The Vine Holds You When You Forget
The afternoon sun feels heavy when you are tired of holding on. You are still here, standing in the middle of the day, wondering why you haven't let go.
The fight to stay is exhausting when the reason has gone quiet. But the light is not asking you to understand the 'why' right now.
It is simply walking the road with you, step by step. There is a peace that does not depend on your ability to explain your survival.
The light has already overcome the world, so you do not have to overcome it again today. Just remain.
The vine holds the branch even when the branch forgets it is alive.
