the shame of feeling safe while still trembling

Trembling Hands, Unbroken Truth

The house is quiet now and the day is done, yet your hands still tremble in the safety of the dark. You feel the safety around you, but your body remembers the tremor, and that dissonance brings a fresh wave of shame.

There was a man who fell on his face in a garden, overwhelmed with sorrow to the point of death, and even in that terror, the light held him. You are not required to be steady before the light can reach you.

Your trembling is not a sign that you are broken, but that you are finally letting go of the mask. The one who calls you by name does not ask for calm; it asks for your truth.
