Glow
Glow.
That’s the first “gl” word that came into my head, so I’m going with it. That’s stream of consciousness, after all. 😂
There are so many different kinds of glow.
The glow of the sun just before it disappears behind the mountains.
The glow of the moon when the rest of the sky is dark.
The little glow from a candle when the house is quiet.
The glow of my phone at some ridiculous hour because apparently my brain has decided that 2 a.m. is the perfect time for an idea. 😂
Then there is the glow people have.
You know the one.
Someone walks into a room and you can almost feel their energy before they say anything.
Some people glow when they’re happy.
Some glow when they’re in love.
Some glow when they’re creating something they care about.
And sometimes we lose our glow for a while.
Life happens.
We get tired.
Things hurt.
The world becomes a little too loud and suddenly that light inside us feels more like a tiny flicker.
But a flicker is still light.
Maybe we don’t need to shine brightly every single day.
Maybe some days it is enough just to keep that tiny flame alive.
Because eventually something happens.
A song.
A laugh.
A sunset.
A kind word.
A new idea arriving completely out of nowhere at 2 a.m.
And there it is again.
That little glow.
Still there.
Still ours.
Still shining. ✨💜
With love, coffee, poetry, and stardust,
