The Light Has Gone Underground
The screen lights up in the dark. A name you know.
Words that used to warm you. And now—nothing.
Just a hollow echo where the feeling should be. You stare at the glow, waiting for a spark that doesn't come, and the silence inside you feels like a verdict.
But listen. The numbness is not the end of the story.
It is the deep sleep of a heart that has been running too long. The light has not left the building.
It has only gone underground to keep you safe while you rest. Even in this frozen quiet, the Father's love is holding you—closer than your own breath.
You are not empty. You are being kept.
Drawing from
Gospel of Thomas, Luke
