Love Runs to Meet Your Silence
The house is so quiet right now that your own silence feels like a wall you've built to keep love out. You are afraid that if you stay this still, if you make no sound, everyone will finally walk away.
But listen — the light does not leave because you are quiet. It does not run from your stillness.
There is a father who saw his son coming home from a long way off, and before the boy could speak a single word of apology, the father was already running. He did not wait for the noise.
He ran to the silence. Your quiet is not a burden that pushes love away — it is the very space where love rushes in to meet you.
The darkness has not overcome it. You are not alone in the quiet; you are held.
