The Light Shines on What Is
The sun is up, and with it comes the heavy armor you put on before your feet even touched the floor. You are living a life that belongs to someone else — a script written by voices that are not yours, a performance designed to keep the peace while your own soul starves in the silence.
But look at the light coming through the window. It does not ask the flowers to be roses or the birds to be eagles.
It simply shines on what is already there. The truth that lives in you has been waiting all night for this moment to speak.
It is not a loud voice; it is the quiet knowing that rises when the world's noise finally thins out. You were sent here as a drop from the light to illuminate the world, not to mimic its shadows.
The life you are meant to live is not a destination you reach after pleasing everyone else. It is the breath you take right now, the one that finally feels like your own.
