Track: “We Circle Through the Night, Consumed by Fire”—Max Richter

Some nights aren’t for rest.
They’re for reckoning.

You move through shadows—not lost, just unsettled. Pulling memories, holds, heartbreaks, back into orbit. You don’t sleep—you circle. The pulse in your chest matches something ancient, something eternal.

And yet, through it all, it burns.

It’s not a blaze that consumes, but a fire that refines. You’re not undone. You’re changed.

Max Richter’s “We Circle Through the Night, Consumed by Fire” is exactly that heat.
No lyrics. No distractions. Just strings and silence merging into something elemental. Like standing in the center of a fire that doesn’t want to kill you, but wants to show you what’s at your core.

It starts quietly, like putting your hand near a flame to test it. The strings pull taut. Shadows deepen. Your chest tightens because the warmth stings.

Then it grows. And not with crescendo, but with depth. Like a truth you can’t look away from. An ember that glows without burning you. A ritual that says: You’re alive enough to feel it all, and that’s courage.

So today, if you’re waking to the ghost of a midnight that won’t let go—know this:

You’re here. You’re breathing.
You circled the night—
and came back to the altar of your own becoming.

You’re not broken. You’re in progress.

Some mornings don’t need more light.
They need presence.
And the willingness to face your fire head-on.

Another morning. Another chance. Another chance for hope. Carry it with you.
