You Are Already Held in Silence
The screen stays dark. Two days of silence, and the quiet begins to feel like a verdict.
You check the battery, the signal, the apps—searching for a reason why no one is reaching out. The panic whispers that you have been forgotten, that the silence means you are alone.
But the light does not measure your worth by the buzz in your pocket. It sees the mask you wear at work, the smile you force while the inside is screaming.
There is a presence that does not need a notification to find you. It is already here, in the room, in the breath you are holding right now.
You are not waiting to be remembered. You are already held.
Drawing from
Matthew 6:6, Gospel of Thomas 70
