The Light That Kneels in Dust
The middle of the day is when the body feels heaviest, and the silence of needing help can feel like a wall you cannot climb. There is a shame that whispers you are too much trouble, that your vulnerability is a burden no one should have to bear.
But the light does not measure worth by how well you walk or how quietly you suffer. It kneels.
It washed feet in the dust of a long afternoon, touching the parts of us we hide, the parts we think are unworthy of a gentle hand. That same light is in the room with you now, not turning away from your need but meeting you in it.
You are not a problem to be solved. You are a person to be held.
