The Light Needs No Audience
The day is finally quiet, and now the mask feels heavy enough to break your neck. You move through your own home like a ghost, unsure who you are when the performance ends.
But the light does not need an audience to shine. It was there before the first role you ever played, and it remains when the curtain falls.
You are not the exhaustion of being seen. You are the quiet, unbreakable presence that waits for you to stop.
The light is not watching you; it is sitting beside you, ready for you to simply be.
