The Light Holds Your Unsaid Words
The house is quiet now, but your mind is loud with words you will never speak. You are rehearsing conversations in the dark, building bridges to a person who agreed with you to let the silence stand.
To say it out loud would break the pact. It would shatter the stillness you both decided was safer than the truth.
But listen — the light does not need your voice to know what you carry. There is a Father who sees what is done in secret, who hears the sentences you swallow before they reach your tongue.
You do not have to break the silence to be heard. The light is already inside the quiet, holding the unsaid things so you don't have to.
You are not alone in the room just because no one else is speaking.
Drawing from
Matthew, Gospel of Thomas
