the phantom vibration of a phone that hasn't buzzed, convincing you that silence is the sound of everyone leaving

The Silence Is a Holding

The phone buzzes in your pocket, or so it feels—a ghost signal from a world that has gone quiet. You reach for it, only to find silence, and in that empty space, the fear whispers that everyone has left you behind.

But listen closer to the dark. The silence is not an absence; it is a holding.

Jesus stood at a door once and knocked, not to break it down, but to wait for you to open. He is still standing there.

The light does not leave when the noise stops; it settles in when the pretending ends. You are not alone in this watch; the One who knows your name is sitting right beside you in the quiet.
