The Silence Is Here To Hold You

The day is ending, and the armor you wore to hold it all together finally feels heavy enough to take off. You are terrified that if you stop moving, the silence will rush in and prove there is nothing substantial inside you but exhaustion.

But listen — the noise was never the substance. The performance was just the dust.

There is light within a person of light, and it lights up the whole world even when you are perfectly still. You do not have to generate it.

You do not have to earn it by staying busy. It is already there, waiting for you to stop long enough to feel it.

The fear says you are empty. The truth says you are full, and the fullness does not depend on your output.

Sit down. The silence is not here to expose you.

It is here to hold you.
