The Dawn Arrives Without Permission
The water has turned cold, but you keep standing there, trembling, because stopping means the silence returns. You are afraid that if you step out of the stream, the thoughts you held back all day will finally catch up to you.
But look—the sun is already rising outside your window, breaking through without asking your permission. The light does not wait for you to be ready; it simply arrives.
It has been waiting in the quiet all along, not to overwhelm you, but to hold what you are carrying. You do not have to outrun the dark to find the dawn.
The night is over, whether you feel it yet or not.
