The Silence Where Light Speaks First
The sun is up, and the silence in this room feels less like peace and more like a verdict. You stopped performing for the day, stopped saying the things you were supposed to say, and now you are staring at a blank space where your own voice should be.
It is terrifying to realize you do not know what you actually want to say when no one is listening. But look at the light coming through the window.
It does not struggle to find the right words. It does not rehearse.
It simply arrives. The rising sun comes to shine on those living in darkness, not because they have a speech prepared, but because they are there.
The light guides your feet into the path of peace before you have taken a single step. You do not need to know the destination to begin walking.
The silence is not empty. It is the space where the light speaks first.
