The Child Still Lives Inside You
The sun is setting, and the day feels shorter than it used to be. You look at the mirror and wonder where the decades went, as if you blinked and the years slipped through your fingers.
But the light does not measure your life by the calendar or the gray in your hair. It sees the child you were before the world told you who to be, still alive inside the person you are now.
The kingdom is not a destination you missed; it is inside you, waiting for you to recognize it again. You did not lose the light; you simply forgot to look for it in the quiet of this evening.
