You Are Held Even In Silence
The house is so quiet it feels like the world has forgotten how to speak. You have stopped fixing the things that were broken, and the silence that followed is heavy enough to crush you.
No one asks how you are. No one notices that you have finally put the tools down.
In this hour, the isolation feels like a verdict. But listen — the silence is not empty.
It is full. The Father's light was already inside you before the first question was asked, and it remains now that the last one has faded.
You do not need to be seen to be held. You do not need to be asked to be known.
The light does not wait for an invitation from the outside world to shine; it shines because it is your nature. Even here, in the deepest dark where no voice reaches, you are that light.

Gospel of Thomas, Apocryphon of John
