The Stillness That Remains After Fire
The tremor in your hands is not a failure. It is the sound of the engine finally cooling down after running on emergency fuel for too long.
You do not know who you are without the fire because the fire has been the only thing making you feel real. But in this hour, the silence is not empty.
It is full. There is a light within you that does not need a crisis to burn.
It was there before the first alarm sounded. It will be there when the sun rises.
You are not the chaos you solved. You are the stillness that remains.
Drawing from
Gospel of Thomas, John
Verses
John 1:4
