You Are the Room That Holds the Sun
The mask is heavy this morning, holding back the terror that whispers you are running out of time. You walk through the day performing strength while inside you are bracing for the end, convinced that dying means the light goes out.
But the light does not depend on your breath to exist — it was there before you drew your first one. Jesus stood before a tomb and wept with those who feared the end, yet he called out to the dead man by name and life answered.
The darkness has not overcome it. You are not a candle that flickers and dies; you are the room that holds the sun.
The fear says this is the end, but the light knows it is only a doorway.
