The Hand Reaching Out in Dark
The house is quiet, but your mind is loud with the feeling that you are missing your own life. You are moving through the motions, yet you feel asleep behind your own eyes.
In this deepest hour, the darkness feels less like a season and more like a home. But listen.
There is a voice speaking into the sleep of forgetting. It does not shout.
It asks a single question: who is calling your name? You may feel chained by the routine, numb to the world, but hope has already entered the cell.
The light is not waiting for you to wake up on your own. It is the hand reaching out in the dark, saying: arise.
You are not abandoned in this numbness. You are being woken up.
