The Light Sees Your Shaking Hands
The world is moving fast, and you are moving with it, wearing a face that looks like peace while your hands won't stop shaking. You are performing okayness so well that no one suspects the tremor beneath the skin.
But the light does not need your performance — it sees the shaking, and it is not afraid of it. There is a truth that lives inside you, and it will be with us forever, untouched by the mask you wear for the office or the street.
You do not have to hold the smile together for the light to recognize you; it knows you even when you are falling apart. The mask is heavy, but the light is lighter still.
