Finding light in darkness

There are days when the light feels far away.
Not gone… just harder to reach.

Everything softens into a kind of quiet heaviness.
And the instinct is to escape it.
To rush back into brightness.

But darkness asks for something different.
Not effort. Not force.
Just presence.

Light doesn’t arrive all at once.
It flickers in small ways:
a deeper breath
a step outside
a moment where your shoulders drop without you noticing

It’s subtle. But it’s there.

So stay a little longer.
Let your eyes adjust.
Let yourself feel without needing to fix.

Because even here,
in the stillness, in the unknown,
there is a quiet light
learning how to reach you.
