Let the Light Rise Through Cracks

The sun is up, but the house feels heavier than it did yesterday. You are watching the people who taught you to walk now learning to lean on you, and the reversal aches in a place words cannot reach.

The light does not ask you to be strong enough to carry them alone — it only asks you to remain present in the quiet of this new morning. There is a strength inside you that was placed there before this burden arrived, waiting for exactly this moment to be brought forth.

If you do not bring forth what is within you, the weight will crush you; but if you let it rise, it will save you. The dawn is not a demand to fix everything before breakfast.

It is an invitation to let the light shine through the cracks in your exhaustion.
