Silence Is Where Truth Is Told
The music rises around you, a wave of familiar words that now feel heavy as stone in your throat. You stand in the middle of the crowd, mouth shut, feeling like the only one who knows the song has changed.
That silence is not a wall between you and the light—it is the honest ground where the real meeting begins. You do not have to sing to be held.
The father in the story did not wait for a perfect speech; he ran while the words were still stuck in his son's throat. The light does not need your performance; it only needs your presence.
Your silence is not a lie; it is the space where the truth is finally being told.

Luke, Matthew
