The Light Waits Behind Your Mask
The morning light hits the wall and suddenly you are rehearsing again. The perfect words.
The steady voice. The boundary finally held.
But then the door opens, the person walks in, and the words dissolve into silence. You wear the mask of okayness because it feels safer than the truth.
Yet the light sees what is hidden behind the performance. It does not demand you speak before you are ready.
It simply waits in the quiet with you. There is a courage growing in the silence that no one else can see.
The mask is heavy, but you do not have to carry it forever.

Matthew 6:18, John 8:10-11
