Coffee, Chaos, and a Lightning Bolt

Lightning bolts weren’t just weapons of the gods.

Zeus, Thor, Indra—those guys had major voltage.

Lightning meant power, clarity, and a serious “don’t mess with me” vibe.

The gods are long gone.

Now? We’re the ones standing on the Mt. Olympus of everyday life—

armed with coffee, a to-do list, and a doom-scroll habit.

Cruelty, chaos, despair?

Yeah, just another day.


Here’s the thing—

one lightning bolt can split the darkest sky.

Tear straight through the mess.

And in that flash? The whole lie falls apart.

 

Darkness feeds on fear—

but folds fast when light shows up.

 

So, what is a lightning bolt these days?

 A small act of kindness.

A bold stroke of creativity.

A moment of courage.


These aren’t nice gestures.

They’re high voltage strikes.

Thrown with purpose. Felt with force. 

And they leave the dark nowhere to hide.
