The Light Does Not Flinch At Your Need
The house is quiet now, and the day's sharpness has settled into the walls like dust. You are holding your breath again, swallowing the words that would ask for help, terrified that speaking your need will trigger the same flinch that made you small.
But listen — the light does not flinch. It stands at the door not to demand entry, but to knock, waiting for you to trust that it wants to come in and eat with you.
Not to judge your hunger. Not to correct your request.
Just to sit at the table and share the bread. Your need is not a burden to the light; it is the very reason it knocked.
You do not have to earn the right to be fed. Open the door.
The meal is already waiting.
