The Light Inside Your Silence

The phone lights up with a name you have been avoiding, and your stomach drops because answering feels like pulling a thread that will unravel the whole sweater. You stare at the screen, frozen in the middle of the day, knowing that one word could collapse the careful distance you have built.

But the light does not require you to hold it all together right now. It came into your midst not to demand perfection, but to restore every nature to its root.

You are not your silence. You are not the fear that keeps your thumb hovering over the glass.

There is a place inside you that remains untouched by the conversation you are dreading. The light lives there, steady and unshaken, waiting for you to remember that you are more than the thing you cannot say.
