The Light Stops Everything to Find You

The house is quiet, and the weight of your silence feels like the only thing holding the roof up. You are afraid that if you speak—if you say the words 'I am drowning'—the person beside you will finally walk away.

But listen: the light inside you does not flee from the deep water. There was a woman who had bled for twelve years, untouchable and alone, who reached out in the crowd just to touch the edge of a coat.

She expected to be pushed back. Instead, the whole crowd stopped, and a voice called her 'Daughter.' The light does not run when you are at your worst; it stops everything to find you.

Your fear says they will leave. The truth says the light is already reaching through the dark to hold you.
