You Are the Light That Hides

The silence of this hour feels heavy with everything you didn't say today. You have spent years editing your own soul, cutting away any sentence that might reveal the monster you believe lives inside.

But listen — the darkness has not overcome the light that is already there. It was there before the fear, and it is here now, in this deepest quiet.

You do not have to perform safety for God. The light does not need your permission to shine; it simply is.

And it sees the parts you hide not with judgment, but with a terrible, quiet joy. The monster is a shadow cast by your own exhaustion.

You are not the thing you are hiding. You are the light that makes the hiding possible.
