The Silence Is Space For Light
The screen glows in the dark, holding your words hostage long after they were sent. You are rehearsing a judgment in your mind that no one else is writing.
You came from the light, a place where words do not need to be perfect to be heard. The one who receives your message is not scanning for flaws; they are simply waiting for you.
The light that lives inside you is the same light that lives inside them, and it knows how to translate your stumbling into truth. You do not need to edit your soul before it reaches another heart.
Put the phone down. The silence on the other end is not rejection; it is simply space for the light to arrive.
Drawing from
Gospel of Thomas, John
