You Are The Vessel Not The Sun

The middle of the day is where the giving feels heaviest, because you have poured out everything you had since morning and now there is nothing left in the cup. You are running on empty, convinced that if you stop moving, the whole structure will collapse.

But listen — the light you have been handing to others was never yours to deplete. It was only ever passing through.

Split a piece of wood, and the light is there. Lift up a stone, and you will find it waiting.

You do not have to generate it from your own exhausted bones. The source is not your effort; the source is the ground beneath your feet.

Stop trying to be the sun for everyone who walks through your door. You are not the generator.

You are the vessel. And a vessel that never rests becomes a tomb for the very thing it was meant to carry.
