The Silence Where the Light Remains
The house is quiet now because you finally stopped moving. You put down the tools you used to fix everyone else, and the silence that followed was not peace—it was abandonment.
No one asked how you are. No one noticed the hands that stopped working.
In this deepest hour, the world feels like a room where the light has gone out, leaving you alone with the dust. But listen.
There is light within a person of light, and it lights up the whole world. It does not need your effort to shine.
It does not need an audience to exist. You came from the light, the place where the light came into being on its own accord.
You did not earn this glow by fixing things. You are not a machine that stops working when the noise ends.
The silence is not empty. It is the space where you remember that you are a drop from the light, sent here not to carry the world, but to illuminate it just by being.
The fixer can rest. The light remains.
