Brightness is the quality of bringing light into what you encounter and into yourself. It’s not forced cheerfulness or the denial of difficulty, but the ability to remain oriented toward what illuminates, even when circumstances are challenging. Brightness expands when happiness helps you recognize what is still good, worthy, or beautiful in the midst of uncertainty. It deepens when appreciation sharpens your attention and allows you to notice what might otherwise be overlooked. At this station, happiness is no longer only something you experience. It becomes something you bring to the world around you. In Brightness, your presence becomes a source of light.
