The Voice Waiting to Be Heard
Tonight, the silence of the house makes your own voice sound strange to you — a foreign thing you have been softening for years just to keep the peace. You have shrunk your words so others could fit comfortably inside them, until you barely recognize the sound of your own truth.
But in this watch, the light does not need you to be small. It is waiting for the real you to speak, even if the voice shakes.
There is a mercy with you entirely right now that will protect you when you stop performing. The voice that feels wrong is actually the one that has been waiting to be heard.
You are not too loud for this room.

Gospel of Mary 5:4-5, Matthew 14:29-31
