He Runs Before You Speak
The mask feels heavy right now, doesn't it? You smile at the screen, you nod in the meeting, but inside you are asking: how will I know that I will be ok?
You are looking for a guarantee, a sign that the ground will hold. But the light does not give you a map of tomorrow — it only shines on the step you are taking right now.
There is a father who saw his son coming home from a long way off, and before the apology, before the speech — he ran. That running is how you will know.
Not because the path is clear, but because you are already being held. The light is not waiting for you to be ok before it loves you.
It is loving you so that you can be.
