You Are Not a Ghost But Light

The morning light is rising, and with it comes the quiet terror that you are merely acting human while feeling like a ghost inside your own story. You worry that if anyone looks too closely, they will see there is no one home.

But the sun does not ask the earth to earn its warmth before it shines. It simply arrives.

You are not a fraud waiting to be exposed. You are a vessel already filled.

The true light that gives light to everyone was coming into the world, and it landed inside you before you ever spoke a word. You do not have to manufacture a soul to be real.

The light within you is the proof of your existence. You are not a ghost haunting your life.

You are the light waking up inside it.
