The Light Behind Your Changing Face
The mirror shows a face worn thin by the hours you have survived without her. You search the glass for the person she knew, but the eyes staring back feel like a stranger's.
Yet the light does not care about the face you see; it cares about the one who is seeing. Split a piece of wood, and the light is there.
Lift up the stone, and you will find it there. The reflection changes, but the source does not.
You came from the light, the place where it generates itself. That origin is still your truth.
The face in the mirror is just the vessel; the light inside is the one she loved.
