Light Shining on the Pavement
The sun has gone down, and now you are standing on the curb with your life tied up in black plastic. It feels like the world has seen you at your most broken, stripped of walls and dignity.
But the light does not care about the container it lives in. It was shining when you had a home, and it is shining just as brightly now, sitting on the pavement.
The gathering dark cannot extinguish what is already inside you. You are not defined by where you sleep tonight, but by the light that refuses to leave your side.
The night is long, but the light is already here.
