The Light Waits in Your Hollow Places
The day is ending, and the armor you wore for twelve hours finally hits the floor. You look in the mirror and feel that specific terror—that if someone saw your unmasked face, they would realize there is no one home behind your eyes.
Just hollow space. Just exhaustion.
But listen. The light does not need a performance to find a home.
It does not require a face full of life to enter. It enters the hollow places.
It fills the empty rooms. You are not a house with the lights off; you are a house where the light is waiting for you to stop moving so it can be seen.
The emptiness you fear is not absence. It is the space the light needs to shine through.
