Day 26 – Smolder
The fire didn’t go out—it just pulled back into coals.
Low, red, steady. Waiting.
It’s easy to think the passion’s gone when things quiet down.
But maybe this isn’t apathy—maybe it’s conservation.
Holding fuel for the next hard stretch.
Resting, not quitting.
The work’s still getting done.
The prayers still go up.
The food still gets weighed.
That’s not failure. That’s fire control.
Still…
Still burning.
Still sober.
Still committed.
Still trusting the next spark.
