The Steady Hand Beneath the Tremor
The middle of the day is long, and your hands are shaking while you hold the cup. You are terrified someone will see the tremor, will notice the crack in the performance, will know you are not as steady as you pretend to be.
But the light does not require your hands to be still. There is a peace that does not depend on your grip, a calm that exists beneath the spill.
The darkness has not overcome it. The shaking is just the body telling the truth about how hard you have been working to hold everything together.
You do not have to hide the tremor to be held by the light. The cup might wobble, but the hand underneath is already steady.
