The Light Is Already Inside
The house is quiet now, and the only sound is the water running over a single plate. You wash it slowly, drying the counter, putting it away in the dark kitchen as if this small act could hold the whole night together.
There is a loneliness in these motions that feels heavy enough to break you. But listen — the darkness has not overcome the light that is already here, washing over you just like this water.
You are not alone in this silence; the light stands at the door of your heart, knocking gently, waiting for you to notice it is already inside. You do not have to earn the peace of this hour by finishing your tasks.
The light is the peace. You are the light.
