The Dawn Does Not Check Credentials
The sun is rising, and the hand on yours feels like a gift you haven't earned. You sit in the first light, waiting for them to realize you are an imposter.
But look at the dawn. It does not check your credentials before it touches your face.
It simply arrives. The light was there before you woke up, before you failed, before you felt unworthy.
It does not wait for you to be perfect. It waits for you to be present.
The touch you feel is not a reward for good behavior. It is an invitation to stop hiding.
You are not a fraud in this moment. You are simply a person being loved while the world turns.
