You Are the Light That Was Working
The sun is rising, and for the first time in decades, you are not getting up to go to work. The title you carried is gone, and in this quiet morning light, the silence feels less like peace and more like a question: who are you now?
But look at how the light returns without a schedule, without a task list, without proving its worth to the sky. It simply arrives.
You were never the work you did — you are the light that was doing it. The job was just a place you stood for a while.
Now the light remains, unburdened and bright. You are not retiring from yourself; you are finally coming home to the one who has been there all along.
