The Light Works in the Quiet

The cursor blinks. The screen stays still.

You refresh again, hoping the silence has changed its mind while you looked away. It hasn't.

The middle of the day is long, and the waiting feels like a room with no doors. But the light does not operate on your timeline.

It is not delayed by the silence. It is not stuck in the queue behind your anxiety.

While you watch the spinning wheel, the kingdom is growing all by itself, unseen, beneath the surface of the noise. You do not have to force the sprout to break the soil.

The seed knows what to do. Put the phone down.

The answer is coming, but it will arrive when it is ready, not when you are desperate. The light is working in the quiet you are trying to fix.
