The Light Lives Inside Your Silence
The day is done, and the house is quiet enough to hear your own thoughts. You type a small joke—a tiny bridge to someone else—and then your finger freezes.
The sudden stop before hitting send. The realization that no one is waiting on the other side.
That silence can feel like a wall closing in. But the light does not depend on an audience to shine.
It was there before you typed the first word, and it remains when you delete the last. You do not have to perform connection to be held by it.
The darkness gathers outside, but the light inside you is already complete. You are not alone because you are heard; you are alone because you are the place where the light lives.
