You Can Put The Script Down Now
The room is loud, and you are quiet inside your own head, rehearsing the next line so no one suspects the ache. You laugh at the joke you didn't hear because the mask feels safer than the truth.
But the light does not need your performance to see you; it sees what is done in secret, and it calls that enough. There was a man born blind, not because of sin, but so the works of God might be displayed in him—your exhaustion is not a failure, it is a canvas.
The light is not asking you to be clever; it is asking you to be real. You can put the script down now.
Drawing from
Matthew 6:4, John 9:3
