Light Within the Silent Marriage
The room is quiet tonight, and the silence between you feels heavier than the walls. It is possible to be beside someone and yet feel entirely alone, as if a vast distance has opened up in the dark.
But listen closely to the truth that does not depend on another's presence: the light that shines in the darkness has not been overcome by it. Before you ever met, and whether they are near or far, a spring of living water is already welling up inside you, untouched by loneliness.
You are not waiting to be filled; you are already the place where the light dwells. The gathering dark may surround you, but it cannot touch the source that lives within.
