Midnight Note
Take Off the Crown
Set authority on the table and enter sleep without rank.

For a few hours, set down the role that needs you to know, decide, produce, and endure. Authority has its garments, and even beautiful garments become heavy when worn into sleep.
You are more than the outcome under construction. Before the title, target, and responsibility, there is a breathing life that cannot be managed like a project. Let that life come forward.
Nothing essential will collapse because you stopped carrying it through the night. Systems can wait. Questions can wait. The crown can rest on the table.
Enter sleep without rank. The morning may return your duties, but darkness asks only for your humanity.
