Light Shining Without the Sun
The house is quiet now, and that door left slightly ajar feels like the heaviest thing in the room. You are waiting for a footstep that you know will not come tonight.
The silence is not empty, though it feels like it. The light does not need the sound of footsteps to be present.
It stands at the door of your heart just as it is — knocked, but never forced. You do not have to close that door to find peace.
The One who calls your name is already inside the silence, waiting with you. The night is not a barrier to the light; it is the very place where the light learns to shine without the sun.
