Known Before The Words Vanish
The cursor blinks in the dark, a small, steady pulse against the black screen. You type the truth of your day, the weight you carried, the things you need them to know.
Then you stop. Your thumb hovers over the delete key.
Letter by letter, the words vanish back into the silence until the screen is blank again. The light does not need your perfect explanation to be present with you.
It saw the words before you erased them. It heard the silence that followed.
In the watching, you are already known.
Drawing from
Mark 5:19, John 21:15-17
