The Quiet Glow

I was fumbling for my keys in the dark hallway this morning when the power flickered and died. For a few seconds, the house felt heavy and unfamiliar, like a room I had never stepped into before. I stood perfectly still, waiting for my eyes to adjust, and that is when I saw it—a tiny, flickering candle left on the side table from last night. It wasn’t much, just a small circle of warmth against the vast, ink-black space of the living room. It made me realize how often we wait for a floodlight to solve our problems, forgetting that we only ever need enough clarity to take the next single step. We are so afraid of the dark that we overlook the tiny, persistent flames we carry with us. Sometimes, the smallest spark is exactly what keeps the silence from becoming overwhelming. Do you find that you notice things more clearly when the world around you goes quiet and dim?
