About how stillness makes light visible and power distinguishable.
Power as a Discipline of Light
Strength loves to disguise itself as calm.
But anyone who has seen a beam of light through dust knows:
calm is disciplined brightness.
A statue under such a beam feels eternal,
yet it is its stillness
that makes the light visible.
Strength rarely speaks.
It behaves like the air before a storm —
dangerous to breathe too deeply.
Look closely and you’ll see:
strength is not endurance.
It is the refusal to look away
when the world begs for hiding.
Break.
