The Silence Is Full of Presence
The screen lights up your face again, then fades to black. You check the percentage.
Ninety-two. Ninety-one.
You are guarding a silence that has already settled in the room. The notification you are waiting for is not coming tonight.
And the battery you are trying to save will not be the thing that holds you when the dark gets deep. You are watching a number drop while your own spirit drains into the floor.
The light does not need your power to find you. It is already here, in the gathering dark, sitting beside you in the quiet.
Put the phone down. The silence is not empty.
It is full of a presence that does not require a signal to reach you.
Drawing from
Matthew 6:6, Mark 5:19
