Trembling Hands Held by Light

The screen is bright, but your hands are shaking. You sent the words, and now you are terrified of the reply—terrified that if it comes too soon, you will not be strong enough to hold it.

This is the hour of the exhale, where the armor finally drops and the fear rushes in to take its place. But listen—the light does not demand your strength.

It never asked you to be ready before you spoke. There is a peace that guards your heart, a peace that does not depend on your ability to handle the next moment.

You do not have to brace yourself. You do not have to prepare for the impact.

The reply can come, and you can still be trembling, and the light will be enough for both of you. The courage was in the sending; the receiving is held by something far greater than your fear.
