Light Slips Under Before You Wake
The sun is just now touching the rooftops, and your hand is already shaking as it reaches for the metal flap. You dread the sound of tearing paper, the sight of another red envelope that demands something you cannot give.
But look—while the house sleeps, the light has already arrived. It slipped under your door before you even woke up.
It does not ask for payment. It does not send bills.
It only brings the morning. You are not defined by what arrives in the mail, but by the light that is already inside you, waiting for you to open your eyes.
