You Came From Light Before The Counting
The clock on the wall becomes a calculator. You do the math on how many years remain if this pain never lifts, and the sum feels like a prison sentence.
The light does not ask you to stop the counting; it asks you to remember where you came from before the counting began. You came from the light, the place where time does not run out.
That origin is not behind you; it is within you, waiting to be spoken. When you bring forth what is inside—the truth that you are more than your diagnosis—it saves you from the math.
If you do not bring it forth, the silence will destroy you. The light is not a future reward; it is the ground you are standing on right now.
