typing a message you know you will never send, then deleting it word by word until the screen is blank again

The Unsent Message Is Still A Prayer

The cursor blinks like a heartbeat in the dark, waiting for words you know you will never send. You type the truth, then delete it, then type it again, until the screen is blank and the room is quiet.

But listen — the darkness has not overcome the light that was already speaking through your fingers. The words you erased were not lost; they were heard by the One who reads the silence between the keys.

You are not alone in this watch; the light is sitting right here in the glow of the screen with you. The unsent message is still a prayer.

John, Gospel of Thomas
