The Light Does Not Keep Accounts

The house is quiet now, but the numbers in your head are shouting. You lie still while the mind races through every bill, every what-if, every fear that morning will bring bad news.

It feels like the darkness is a debt you cannot pay. But listen — the light does not keep accounts.

There was a father who saw his son coming home with nothing, empty-handed and ashamed, and he ran before a single word of repayment could be spoken. The light is not waiting for you to balance the books.

It is already here, sitting beside you in the dark, untouched by what you owe or what you lack. You are more valuable than the sum of your worries.

The weight you carry tonight is real, but it is not who you are.
