Episode 10: The Exchange

Two lanes.
Two directions.
One touched by light,
the other trailing quietly behind in shadow.

But wait.

In just a few seconds,
they’ll trade places.

The one in the dark
will emerge -
bathed in sun,
moving forward.

And the one in the light?
It’ll dip into shade.
It has to - that’s the cycle.

But neither of them is stuck.
And neither of them stays where they are.

This is how life works,
quietly, constantly.

We pass each other at intersections we don’t recognize -
moments where one of us is just beginning again.
Moments when it’s finally time to move
toward warmth.
Toward clarity.
Toward whatever scared you yesterday
but feels honest today.

The light isn’t a gift.
It’s a choice.
A direction.

So if you’re in the shadow right now -
keep going.
The exchange is already happening.
And the light is not waiting.
It’s arriving.
