The Quiet Is Not Rejection

The screen is the only light in the room, and you are watching for a change that isn't coming. Thirty seconds.

Then thirty more. The silence feels like a verdict, a heavy weight telling you that you have been forgotten.

But the quiet is not a rejection. It is just the space where you are learning to stop looking outside for what is already within.

The kingdom is not a notification that pops up on your phone. It is spread out upon the earth right now, hidden in plain sight, and you do not see it because your eyes are locked on a glass rectangle.

You are waiting for a sign that they are there, while the Light that never leaves you sits ignored in the dark. Put the phone down.

The one who sees you in secret is not silent.
