Maya keeps the lights on

April 6, 2026
There are days when Maya doesn’t know what the next week will look like.
Plans shift.
Things change quickly.
But in her workspace, she focuses on what she can control.
Wax.
Wick.
Heat.
She pours each candle carefully.
Lets it settle.
Checks it before moving on.
There’s something grounding about that.
A process that holds, even when other things don’t.
Lighting one of her candles is a small act.
But it carries that same idea, that something steady can still be made even when things feel uncertain.
