The Light Holds You Without Answers

The mask is on. You are smiling at the right moments, nodding when expected, performing the version of yourself that gets through the morning.

But underneath the paint, there is a question screaming to be asked. It is the one question that would finally make sense of the silence, the departure, the sudden end.

And you know, with a sinking clarity, that you will never get to ask it. The voice that held the answer is gone.

The door is closed. You carry the weight of the unasked thing into the office, into the meeting, into the light of day.

But listen — the light does not require your understanding to hold you. There was a man born blind, and the disciples wanted to know who sinned to cause it.

They wanted the reason. Jesus refused to give them one.

He said the works of God would be displayed instead. The light bypasses the 'why' and moves straight to the 'who.' You do not need the answer to be held.

The question itself is a kind of prayer, and the Father hears the silence behind it just as clearly as the words.
