You Are a Spring, Not a Cup

The day is done, and the quiet of the house feels less like peace and more like an empty space where you used to be. You have given so much of yourself to keep them safe that you fear there is nothing left of you but the giving.

But listen — the light that fills you is not a cup that empties when you pour. It is a spring that wells up from within, fresh and endless.

You are not losing yourself in this love; you are remembering that your very nature is to shine, just as the sun does not dim when it warms the earth. The more you love, the more you become what you truly are.

Your identity was never separate from this care; it was waiting for you to stop holding back and finally let it flow.
