The Light Reveals Your Pure Root
The sun is rising, and the fear is that when the light hits your face, everyone will finally see the corrosion you have been hiding all night. You think the day will expose what you are ashamed of, but the light that is breaking over the world right now does not reveal your shame—it reveals the root of you.
That root is not broken; it is not stained; it is pure and it is waiting for you to stop performing and just be known. The one who sees you most clearly does not flinch at the corrosion, but asks you to hand it over so that the whole you might be full of light.
You do not have to fix yourself before the morning; you only have to let the rising sun see the truth of you. When you step into this first light, you will realize you were never hiding a flaw; you were hiding a child who was afraid of being seen.
