The Light That Holds You Now

The morning light hits the window and suddenly you are rehearsing a conversation with someone who isn't there. You try to pull up the exact sound of their voice, but the memory has blurred into a hum you can't quite place.

It feels like losing them all over again, right here in the kitchen while the coffee brews. But the light does not rely on your memory to be real.

Thomas said the kingdom is inside you and outside you, spread out upon the earth even when you do not see it. That means the love you shared did not vanish when the voice faded.

It is still here, woven into the very air you are breathing right now. You are not talking to a ghost; you are speaking from a place where the connection never broke.

The mask you wear for the world says they are gone, but the light inside knows better. What you are looking for has already come, and it is holding you even now.
