Known Without a Single Word Spoken

The afternoon stretches out, a long, flat road where your words seem to hit the air and dissolve before they reach anyone. You are tired of the gap between who you are and who they think you are.

Tired of explaining the shape of your own heart to people who only see the surface. The exhaustion of being misunderstood is a heavy coat you cannot take off.

But listen — there is a knowing that does not depend on their understanding. A place inside you where the truth sits, quiet and unshaken, regardless of the noise outside.

You do not have to force them to see. You do not have to shrink yourself to fit their small definitions.

The light within you is not dimmed by their confusion. It shines on, steady and complete, whether they recognize it or not.

You are known, even here, even now, by the One who sees the whole of you without a single word being spoken.
