You Are Held Even When Still

The day is done, and the armor you wore to hold yourself together finally feels too heavy to carry. You are terrified that if you set it down, if you finally stop moving, you will dissolve into nothing and never find the strength to stand again.

But listen — the light does not need your motion to exist. It was there before you started running, and it will be there when you are still.

There is a peace that is not like the world's peace, a stillness that does not require your effort to maintain. You are not held together by your own momentum.

You are held by a love that keeps you whole even when you are completely at rest. The fear says you will fall apart if you stop.

The truth says you are already held.
