Your Light Shines Regardless of Silence
The morning light is unforgiving; it reveals every mask you wore yesterday and every silence you left behind. You are wondering if your 'I'm here' was met with rejection, or if the quiet that followed was simply the other person's own storm.
But the light does not measure your worth by the response it receives. It simply shines.
You came from the light, the place where it generates itself, and you return to it regardless of who answers. Your offering was real because you made it, not because it was received.
The silence is not a verdict on your courage. It is just space.
You are the light of the world, and a city on a hill cannot be hidden just because someone closes their curtains. The mask can come off now; you are seen even in the quiet.
