The Light That Holds The Unsaid
The cursor blinks in the dark room, a tiny pulse against the black glass. You type the truth—the raw, jagged thing you have carried all day—and then you hold the backspace key until the screen is empty again.
The words vanish, but the weight remains, heavier now for having been touched and denied. In the silence of the gathering dark, know this: there is a hearing that happens without a single word being spoken.
You do not need to send the message for it to be received. The light that lives inside you saw the confession before your fingers found the keys, and it saw the deletion before the screen went blank.
It holds the truth you could not bear to say. You are not alone in the unsaid.

Matthew 6:4, Matthew 6:6
