loneliness in a world more connected than ever

The Holding Is Already Here

The screens are glowing, but the room feels empty. You scroll through voices you cannot touch, faces that do not turn to look at you.

Connection is everywhere, yet you are alone in the gathering dark. — But the light was never in the signal.

It was never in the noise. There is a light within a person of light, and it lights up the whole world.

If it does not shine, it is dark. The distance between you and the next heart is not as wide as it feels.

The child of true Humanity exists within you. Follow it.

You are not waiting for the morning to be held. The holding is already here, quiet and steady, beneath the noise.
