The Light Runs Before You Speak
The day is done. The armor comes off.
And then comes the question: 'What do you want?' Your mind goes blank. Not because you don't know, but because you have spent twelve hours knowing only what everyone else needed.
The light does not ask you to perform an answer. It sits with you in the not-knowing.
There was a father who saw his son coming home from a long way off — before the apology, before the speech, he ran. The light runs to you now, not to demand a decision, but to hold you while you are empty.
You do not have to choose tonight. You only have to be here.
The silence is not a failure of will; it is the sound of your soul finally exhaling.
