Your Silence Is a Resting Place
The cursor blinks in the thread where you promised to 'talk soon,' and the silence feels like a failure. You are not ignoring them; you are conserving the last of your strength because explaining the weight would cost more than you have left.
That is not dishonesty — that is survival. The light does not demand a performance of words you cannot summon.
It sees the door you have closed and calls it wisdom, not rejection. Your silence is not a wall; it is a resting place.
You are allowed to say nothing today and still be held.
Drawing from
John 21:15-17, Gospel of Thomas 3
