The Seed Grows in the Quiet
The afternoon stretches out, long and gray, filled with the quiet desperation of routine. You finally speak the truth you've been carrying, your voice breaking through the silence, and the room stays exactly as it was before.
No one turns. No one changes.
The weight of that unchanged moment feels like proof that your light has gone out. But the seed grows whether the farmer sleeps or wakes, whether the world notices or not.
The light works all by itself, deep in the soil where no eye can see. Your voice was not wasted because the room was quiet.
It was planted. The kingdom is already here, spread out upon the earth, even when people do not see it.
