flecks of gold

Inspiration rarely arrives as a grand announcement. More often, it appears as a fleck of gold, a sudden shimmer at the edges of your awareness. Sometimes it’s the way morning light drapes itself across your cheek like a warm kiss, inviting you to linger in bed just a little longer. Sometimes it’s a line from a song that burrows into your chest and refuses to leave. It can be the quiet pull to finally speak a truth to someone you love, not because it’s easy, but because honesty is what will deepen your connection, bridge repair, and make space for something more honest and real between you.
