typing out a long confession to send to them, then deleting it word by word until the screen is blank again

You Are Known Before You Speak

The cursor blinks at the end of a sentence you typed, then deleted, then typed again. You are carrying a weight that feels too heavy for the middle of the day, yet you are sitting still with it.

The light sees the words before they vanish. It saw the confession form in your heart before your fingers touched the glass.

You do not need to send the message to be known. The one who knows you is already standing inside the silence you left behind.

The screen is blank, but you are not empty. The truth of who you are does not depend on what you say.

John 1:48, Gospel of Thomas 70
