Stop Searching Shadows For What Is Blazing

The afternoon sun is relentless, casting light on every dust mote, every flaw, every word you have typed and deleted and typed again. You are reading the same text for the hundredth time, convinced the answer is hiding in a syllable you missed, a tone you got wrong.

But the light does not speak in riddles that require a decoder ring of anxiety. It speaks plainly.

'We came from the light,' the ancient voice says, 'the place where the light came into being on its own accord.' Your origin is not a puzzle to be solved by staring until your eyes burn. It is a source you already carry.

You are looking for a clue in the dirt when you are standing in the sun. The message was never hidden in the words you sent.

It was hidden in the fact that you sent them at all. Stop searching the shadows for what is already blazing.
