- The sensation startles me enough that I pause just inside my new chamber, hand still on the door, as if the feeling might slip away if I move too quickly. Light is not something I’ve carried often in the last few years. Not without it being followed by guilt, or fear, or the sharp reminder of where I stand in the world.
