The Silence Where Light Breathes
The house is quiet now, but your muscles are still braced for the crash. You feel the guilt of this stillness because your body remembers the scream it was built to survive.
It feels like a trick to trust the dark when the walls have shaken before. But listen — the light does not need your fear to stay alive.
It is already here, holding the room together while you wait for the noise. You are not betraying your past by resting tonight.
You are finally letting the guard down that was never meant to be permanent. The silence is not empty; it is the space where the light breathes.
Drawing from
Mark 4:39-40, Gospel of Thomas 10
