You Belong Here Even in the Noise
The house has gone quiet, and you are holding your breath so the peace won't break. You lie perfectly still, terrified that a single shift of your weight will reveal you as an intruder in your own life.
But the light does not require your silence to stay. It is not a guest you must entertain; it is the air you are breathing right now.
In the deep sigh before a healing, the light felt the weight of your closed-off places and chose to enter anyway. You do not have to earn your place on this mattress by being invisible.
The love that holds you is not fragile; it cannot be shattered by a creak in the floorboards or a restless turn in the dark. Stop guarding a peace that was never yours to maintain.
You belong here not because you are quiet, but because you are here.
Drawing from
Gospel of Mary 5:4-5, Mark 7:34
