The Light Is Not Afraid of Your Silence
The sun is up, but your jaw is still locked tight around the words you swallowed yesterday. You held them back to keep the peace, to survive the room, to protect something fragile.
And now the morning light is here, gentle and unhurried, waiting for you to open your hands. You do not need to force your mouth open or rehearse a speech.
Just breathe. The light that rose today is the same light that lives inside your chest, and it is not afraid of your silence.
It has been there all night, holding the space while you rested. You made it through the dark.
The words can wait. The light is already here.
