You Are Not Lost, Just Walking
The afternoon sun is high, and the shadows are short, but inside you feel like a wanderer with no map. You are moving through the motions, checking the boxes, yet the question hangs heavy in the quiet: is this all there is?
The world demands a destination, a clear line from here to there, but the light does not require you to see the end of the road. There is a father who watched the horizon every day, not because he knew when his son would return, but because he loved him before he arrived.
He did not need a plan. He only needed to be present.
You do not have to manufacture a purpose to be worthy of the light. The light is already within you, not as a task to complete, but as a presence to inhabit.
You are not lost; you are simply walking through the middle, and the light is walking with you.
