The Name Is An Invitation Not Accusation
The morning light hits the office floor and someone calls your name, and for a split second, your heart stops. You are convinced they know.
You are sure the mask has slipped and everyone sees the fraud underneath. But the light that sees you does not recoil.
It looks at the trembling hands and the shallow breath and says: go home to your own people. Tell them how much has been done for you.
You do not have to perform worthiness to be held. The panic tells you that you are an imposter who must be exposed.
The truth says you are a child who is already known. The name that jolted you is not an accusation.
It is an invitation to stop hiding.
