Redefinition

Gentle chastening presses up against me. It redirects my mind, carefully cutting, making room for the truth. Peace causes me to loosen my grip on my fears... just enough to hear love speak.

"It's not about time, as if I'm holding back from you. It's about the miracle that has both happened and is taking place. If you lose sight of that, time will do nothing for you. Never underestimate the power of walking in love. That power is in you, and your fears cower before it.

...Oh, and I'm proud of you."

A part of me wants to stay here forever. Never move. Enjoy the light I have now. But I hear the darkness moan as the light forcefully presses against it.

The sun is rising. I need to do go.
