The Light in the Silent Stream
The house is holding its breath. You stand at the sink, turning the faucet just enough to let a thin silver thread fall into the mug, careful not to let the pipes gurgle and wake the room.
It feels like a small, quiet conspiracy against the dark. But you are not hiding.
You are tending to the one thing in front of you. The light does not need a roaring river to be present; it lives in this single, silent stream.
It is here in the steam, in the cold porcelain, in the restraint of your hand. You think you are being small to keep the peace, but the Father sees the precision of your love.
He is not waiting for the morning noise. He is in this hush with you.
