The Light Stands Watch While You Sleep
The sun is rising, and the shadows are finally losing their hold on the room. You made it through the night, even though you were certain that closing your eyes meant leaving someone behind in the dark.
But the light does not need your open eyes to keep shining—it was there while you slept, and it is here now that you have woken. The rising sun comes to guide your feet into the path of peace, not because you stayed awake to guard it, but because it never left.
You are safe to rest, for the light stands watch over you.
