The Light Loves What Is Behind
The text message is typed out, a careful lie about being too busy, masking the truth that the tank is empty. You perform okayness for the world while inside you are calculating the cost of belonging.
But the light sees behind the mask you wear to keep your secret safe. It does not ask for a performance you cannot afford.
There is a generosity that exceeds your scarcity — grace upon grace, pressed down and running over. You do not have to fake your way into the feast.
The light knows you are tired of pretending, and it loves what is behind the performance.
