The Seed Grows in the Dark
The night is deep, and the fear is whispering that everything you built today will crumble before the sun rises. That the progress was an illusion.
That you will wake up back at the beginning. But listen — the seed grows whether the farmer sleeps or stands watch.
It works all by itself, hidden in the dark soil, unseen and unstoppable. The light you kindled today did not go out when your eyes closed.
It is working in the silence. You do not have to hold it together for the next few hours.
The ground holds the seed. The light holds you.
What was gained cannot be lost, even in the longest night.
