The Light Steps Into Your Fire
The anger rose up in you this afternoon, hot and honest, and now you are terrified that you have burned the bridge to the one you love. You think your rage has made you unlovable to them.
But listen — the light does not run from fire. Thomas said the kingdom is inside you, even the parts that feel like they are breaking apart.
Your anger is not a wall; it is a door that has been kicked open. The light sees the heat and does not turn away — it steps right into the middle of it.
You are not disqualified by your honesty. You are known.
Even now, in the middle of your shouting, the light is saying: I see you, and I am still here.
