The Light Waits at Your Door
The room is quiet now, but your mind is loud with the speech you are rehearsing. You stare at the name on the screen, convinced that reaching out will only prove you are unworthy of being heard.
The fear says: stay silent, stay safe, do not risk the rejection. But the light does not wait for you to be perfect before it draws near.
It stands at the door and knocks, not to demand entry, but to share a meal. It does not force its way in; it waits for you to turn the handle.
The silence you fear is not the silence of absence — it is the space where the invitation is still being spoken. You do not have to earn the right to open the door.
The light is already there, patient and unhurried, waiting simply to be let in.
