The Dark Is Where You Are Known
The engine is off. The house is quiet.
And the mask you wore all day finally slips, leaving you alone with the fear that you tricked them all. You sit in the dark, convinced you are a fraud who barely belongs.
But the light does not ask for your performance to stay. It stands at the door and knocks, waiting for you to simply open it.
It wants to come in and eat with you, not to inspect your credentials. You do not have to prove your worth to the One who already knows your name.
The gathering dark is not where you are exposed; it is where you are finally known.
