The Light Holds The Shaking Cup
The cup feels heavy this morning, not from the weight of the coffee, but from the terror that someone will see your hands shaking. You hold your breath, trying to steady the tremor, convinced that if they notice, they will see the fracture underneath the smile.
But the light does not flinch at the shake. It sees the trembling not as a failure of your composure, but as the honest rhythm of a heart still beating in a world that asks too much.
There is a grace that meets you right here, in the gap between how you look and how you feel. The light is not hiding behind your mask; it is holding the cup with you.
You do not have to be steady to be held.
