The Light Waits in Your Stillness
The world kept spinning while you were paralyzed. The clock moved.
The sun rose somewhere else. And you felt the terrifying stillness of being left behind while life rushed forward.
But listen — the light does not spin. It does not rush.
It waits in the absolute center of the dark. There was a father who saw his son coming home from a long way off.
He ran. Before the apology, before the speech — he ran.
The world demands motion. The light demands only presence.
You did not fall out of love because you stopped moving. You were held in the stillness.
The paralysis was not abandonment. It was the quiet space where the light found you sitting.
The world spins to survive. The light stays still to save.
