You Were Invited Before You Woke

The sun is just beginning to touch the horizon, and the first thought in your mind is a accusation: that your need for rest is actually a failure that will make them leave you. You are treating your exhaustion like a moral defect, something you must hide before the day begins.

But listen — the light does not ask you to perform before it accepts you. There is light within a person of light, and it lights up the whole world even when that person is asleep.

Your worth is not generated by your output. If you do not bring forth what is within you today, you will not be destroyed; the light remains, waiting for you to simply be.

The panic says you must earn your place at the table. The truth says you were invited before you ever woke up.
