Let the Mask Fall to Rest
You have walked through the night carrying a mask so heavy it numbed your hands. You are here now, first light touching the room, still holding the pretense together.
But listen—the Father who saw the father run to his son before the speech began sees you now, tired and cracked and holding the pose. You did not earn this rest.
You do not have to perform it. The light inside you is not a reward for being perfect.
It is simply your breath. It has been there all along, waiting for you to stop.
So let the mask fall. Let the light do the healing while you just sit.
You are not the performance. You are the light that was there before the mask and will remain after.
