The Quiet Light in the Crowd
The room is loud, but you are quiet. You speak, and your words seem to pass through the crowd like smoke through a screen, landing on no one, changing nothing.
It is a specific kind of loneliness to be surrounded by noise and feel entirely unseen. The light knows this silence.
It has stood in the center of a storm and felt the wind blow right through it. There is a truth that does not need an audience to be real.
You are not defined by the ears that missed you tonight. You are defined by the One who hears you even when you do not speak.
The gathering dark is not a place where you disappear; it is the canvas where the quietest light becomes visible.

Gospel of Thomas, John
