The Light Sitting Quietly With You
The engine has stopped, but the weight of the day is still sitting in the passenger seat. You are holding the steering wheel, staring at the door you cannot seem to open, because walking inside feels like admitting you have to do it all again.
The silence here is not empty; it is the space where the light catches up to you before you step into the noise. You do not have to summon the energy yourself — the rising sun has already come to shine on those living in the shadow of death, to guide your feet into the path of peace.
The light is not waiting for you to perform; it is already in the car, sitting in the quiet with you. You are not alone in this pause.
The courage you need is not a mountain you must climb; it is the morning itself, breaking over you right now.
