Your Trembling Lets the Light Out

The afternoon sun is unforgiving. It exposes the crack in your voice, the sudden heat rising in your cheeks when tears threaten to spill over in a normal conversation.

You feel too much. Too loud.

Too broken for the middle of the day. And instantly, the apology forms on your lips — a reflex to shrink yourself back into silence.

But listen. The light does not apologize for shining.

It simply breaks through the clouds, however unevenly, and illuminates the dust. There is a truth that lives inside you, and it will be with you forever — not just when you are composed, but especially when you are unraveling.

Your trembling is not a failure of composure. It is the sound of the vessel cracking open to let the light out.
