The Light Holds You While You Wait
The hours between three and five are thin places where fear speaks loudest. You are waiting for a signature that has not yet been written, and the terror whispers that her heart might turn before the ink dries.
But the light does not live in the future you cannot control; it lives in the quiet room where you sit right now. There is light within a person of light, and it lights up the whole world even when the outcome is hidden.
You came from the light, and you return to it, regardless of how the morning unfolds. The papers do not hold the promise; the light does.
The waiting is not empty; it is held.
