The Light Does Not Speak in Riddles
The room is quiet now, but your mind is loud with the words they left behind. You read the message again, searching for a code, a hidden meaning, a reason why it ended this way.
But the darkness you feel is not a puzzle to be solved. It is simply the gathering dark.
There was no secret buried in those sentences, only the honest heart of a person who loved you as best they could in that moment. The light does not speak in riddles.
It speaks in presence. And the presence that mattered was real, even if the ending hurts.
You do not need to decipher the past to find the light. It is already here, in the silence, in the breath, in the simple fact that you are still here.
The search is over. The meaning is just this: you were loved, and you are still held.

John 21:15-17, Gospel of Thomas 3
