The Light Between The Blinks

The cursor blinks. A tiny, rhythmic pulse in the center of a white void.

Everyone expects you to have the answer right now. To fill the silence with something smart, something safe, something that proves you know what you are doing.

So you perform. You put on the face that says 'I am fine, I am capable, I am handling it.' But behind the screen, your hands are shaking.

The mask is heavy. It feels like you are holding up the sky with your fingertips.

You are terrified that if you stop moving, if you stop typing, everyone will see that you are just guessing. That you are empty.

But listen — the light does not need your performance. It never asked for a show.

It is already there, in the quiet space between the blinks. The Father sees the trembling hands behind the keyboard.

He sees the exhaustion of pretending to be full when you feel hollow. And he is not disappointed.

He is not waiting for you to produce. He is waiting for you to stop hiding.

The mask is for the world. The truth is for him.

You do not have to earn your place in this room by being the one with all the answers. You belong here simply because you are here.

The light shines not through your certainty, but through your honest, trembling presence. The answer was never the point.

You are.
