Light Hidden in Plain Sight
The mask is heavy this morning, isn't it? You walk through the motions, smiling at the right times, while inside you are replaying that last silent conversation over and over again.
You wish you could go back and say the thing you didn't say, or unsay the thing you did. But the light does not live in the past you cannot change.
It lives in the ordinary moment right in front of you. Split a piece of wood, and the light is there.
Lift up a stone, and you will find it there. The sacred is not hiding in your regret; it is hidden in the plain sight of this very hour.
You came from the light, and that is where you still belong. The silence you carry is not the end of your story.
