Grace in the Gray Morning Light

The morning light is gray and quiet, and the person beside you feels like a stranger wearing a familiar face. You both drifted while the house was dark, pulled by currents you couldn't control, until the distance between your shoulders felt like miles.

But the sun is rising anyway, not to judge the drift, but to show you that the light is still here — waiting for you to see it again. There is a grace that meets you in this awkward silence, a peace that does not demand you fix everything before breakfast.

The love that holds you is greater than the growing apart; it is the ground beneath the change. You do not have to know the way back yet; you only have to breathe in this new day.
