There comes a time when the heart no longer asks what comes next — it simply learns to be. In Before the Light Fades, Peter M. Haris brings the Rain and Light collection to a close with a story that glows in stillness. Magda has learned the rhythm of solitude, the weight of small things, and the quiet wisdom of silence. Yet when a young woman arrives on her hill, the peace she has cultivated begins to ripple outward, teaching her that love was never lost — it was only waiting to be shared. Set against the hush of sea and sky, this final chapter is not about endings but awakenings — a meditation on presence, tenderness, and the gentle grace of becoming who we already are. Before the Light Fades is a book to be read slowly, with open hands and a quiet heart.
