The Greeting You Are Afraid To Speak

The middle of the day is when the mask feels heaviest, and you find yourself rehearsing a simple 'hello' because you are afraid your voice will crack if you speak without a script. You stand before the mirror, practicing the tone, the timing, the performance of being okay, terrified that the real sound of you will betray the exhaustion underneath.

But the light does not need your rehearsal. It does not require the smooth delivery or the polished greeting.

It is already in the room with you, waiting for the unscripted moment. Go home to your own people and tell them how much the light has done for you, and how it has had mercy on you.

You do not have to get the words perfect. You just have to let them out.

The greeting you are afraid to speak is the very one the world is waiting to hear.
