The Light Sees You in the Quiet
The house is quiet now, and the silence feels like an accusation. You keep moving because you are afraid that if you stop, the stillness will prove you were never here at all.
But the light does not need your noise to exist. It was shining before you took your first step, and it will remain when your feet are finally still.
There is a father who saw his son coming home from a long way off. He ran.
Before the apology, before the speech — he ran. The light does not wait for you to prove your worth through exhaustion.
It sees you in the quiet. You are not valuable because you are busy.
You are valuable because you are held.
