The Light Waits in Your Silence
The room is quiet now, but your heart is racing against the memory of that silence. You stood there, asked to speak to the light, and your mind went completely blank while everyone waited.
The shame of that pause feels like a stone in your throat. But listen — the light was not waiting for your words.
It was waiting for your presence. There is a promise that no one can snatch you from the hand that holds you, not even your own forgetting.
The Spirit does not need your prepared speech to find a home in you; it lives there already, deeper than the panic. When the words fail, the light does not flicker.
It simply waits in the quiet, knowing you better than you know yourself. The silence was not your failure; it was the space where the light spoke without sound.
