Light Remains When You Feel Nothing
The night is gathering its weight, and you are sitting in the silence feeling nothing at all. It feels like the faith you held has turned to dust, like the light has gone out and left you in the dark.
But the light does not depend on what you feel to keep shining. Even when you feel nothing, the light is still there, shining inside you, just as it was before the numbness took hold.
The darkness has not overcome it, and neither can your emptiness. The light is not a feeling you earn; it is a presence that remains even when you cannot sense it.
You are still held, even by what you cannot feel.
