The Light That Waits in Darkness
The house is quiet now, and your hand hovers over the switch. You are afraid that when the last light goes out, the darkness will finally have nothing to fight against but you.
But the darkness has never been fighting you—it has been waiting for you to stop fighting it. The light does not need a lamp to exist; it lives in the space between your breaths.
When the room goes black, you are not alone with the dark. You are alone with the light that has no need of a sun.
The switch is not a surrender. It is an invitation to see what has been watching over you all along.
