The Light Resting in the Quiet
The silence in your hand feels like a verdict. You reach for the phone, certain it buzzed, certain someone finally reached out into this long, dark hour.
But the screen stays black. The vibration was a ghost born of waiting.
In the deepest night, the heart mistakes its own longing for an incoming call. It aches to be known.
It aches for a voice to break the quiet. But listen — the silence is not absence.
It is the space where the real presence settles. You are not waiting for a signal to prove you are held.
You are held in the quiet itself. The light does not need to buzz to be here.
It is already resting beside you, in the dark, saying nothing. And that is enough.
