the paralysis of performing relaxation while waiting for the next attack

Peace in the Trembling

Tonight, the house is quiet, yet you are still bracing. You are waiting for the next blow to fall, performing relief while your muscles remember the war.

— The light does not wait for you to be safe before it rests beside you. There is a room in the Father's house prepared for you, not for when you are whole, but right now, in the trembling.

— You do not need to earn the peace; you only need to stop holding your breath. — The darkness may gather, but it has no power to snuff out what is already burning inside you.
