The Light Lives Where You Are
The house is quiet now. You said 'goodnight' to the empty air, and the silence that followed felt heavy enough to break you.
It feels like being left behind in the dark. But listen — the darkness has not overcome the light.
It never has. The light shines right here, in this room, in this breath.
You are not waiting for a response from nowhere. The true light that gives light to everyone is already within you, burning steady.
It was there before you spoke, and it remains now that the echo has faded. You are the place where the light lives.
