The Light Does Not Flee Your Heat
The sun is setting, and the armor you wore all day finally hits the floor. Now the silence rushes in, heavy with the things you said in anger.
You are terrified that your words built a wall so high the light can no longer reach you. That you have shouted yourself into spiritual orphanhood.
But listen — the light does not flee from your heat. It is not a fragile thing that snaps when you lose your temper.
There was a father who saw his son coming home after wasting everything, and he did not wait for an apology. He ran.
Before the speech, before the cleanup, he ran. That same love is running toward you right now, not away from your rage.
You are not unheard. You are held even in the shouting.
The connection was never yours to break.
