The Light You Carry Is Home
The key turns in the lock, and for a second, your whole body flinches. You brace for a voice that isn't there, for a presence that has gone quiet.
The house holds its breath with you. But listen — the silence isn't empty.
The light that lives inside you does not need an audience to shine. It was there before the door opened, and it remains when the hallway is still.
You are not waiting for the light to arrive; you are carrying it. The mask you wore for the world can finally come down, because the One who sees behind it is already home.
The door locks out the noise, but it cannot lock out the Love that walks with you.
