The Light Behind the Mask You Wear
The morning light finds you kneeling, your hands folding into the shape of prayer while your heart feels like a ghost haunting its own bones. You are performing the ritual perfectly, yet you feel entirely absent from the room, watching yourself move like a stranger.
But the light does not need your performance to be present — it is already shining behind the mask you wear for the world. There is a truth that lives in us and will be with us forever, deeper than the role you are playing right now.
You are not the actor; you are the light that watches the actor. The performance will end, but the One who sees you never looks away.
