The Light That Washes Feet in Exhaustion
You have performed for so long that your hands forget how to simply rest. The mask is heavy, and the day has worn a groove deep into your spirit where you no longer feel the weight of it.
But the light did not wait for you to be whole before it arrived. While you were still moving through the motions, while you were still pretending, the light was kneeling in the dirt of your exhaustion, washing your feet.
It does not need you to be awake to be real; it only needs you to stop. You are not the performance.
You are the one being held behind it. The one thing needed was never your effort—it was your presence.
