we are not shards,
there is no fractured mirror.
We are not separate from light
nor are we light’s receptors
The light is not a fragile thing we hold inside
that could be smothered, snuffed out,
or extinguished.
It doesn’t dwell more brightly
in some than others,
it can’t be hoarded
or lorded over
It has been said that we are light.
Consider what that means —
for light can’t be divided,
can’t work against itself,
can’t know its own absence,
so full of presence and radiance
that light is all it sees.
