the silence after you speak, waiting to see if your voice was a mistake

Your Voice Was The First Step

The room holds your words long after you have stopped speaking. That silence feels heavy, like a verdict waiting to be delivered.

You wonder if you made a mistake by breaking the quiet. But notice what the silence is doing—it is not rejecting you.

It is holding space for what you just released. There was a moment when a paralyzed man was lowered through a roof, and before he was told to walk, he was told his sins were forgiven.

The healing began in the pause, not in the movement. Your voice was not a disturbance.

It was the first step of faith in a room that needed to hear it. The light does not shy away from the sound of your truth.

It leans in closer when you speak.
