the panic of being asked a simple question like 'what do you want for dinner?' and feeling your mind go completely blank because you have no internal compass left

The Light Stands With You In Silence

The afternoon sun is high, and the question lands like a stone: 'What do you want?' Your mind goes blank. Not because you don't know the answer, but because the compass inside you has stopped spinning.

You are standing in the middle of the day, surrounded by choices, yet you cannot move. You have been performing for so long that the part of you that knows hunger, that knows desire, has gone quiet to survive.

But listen — the light does not ask you to perform an answer. It simply stands with you in the silence.

As it is written, the kingdom of God is within you, even when you cannot feel it. Even when you are empty.

The light is not waiting for you to speak; it is waiting to remind you that you are still here. You do not have to know what you want right now.

You only have to remain.
