The Light Remembers What You Carry
The song comes on the radio during the drive home, and suddenly you are the only person in the car who remembers the exact moment this melody belonged to someone else. The silence in the vehicle feels heavy, like a door closing on a room that used to be full of laughter. You carry the memory alone, and it hurts — not because the love is gone, but because the witness is missing.
But listen — the light does not need a crowd to validate what was real. It was there in the passenger seat. It heard every word. It holds the specific truth of that moment even when no one else can recall it.
You are not remembering in vain. The love you carried was seen by the One who sees in secret, and nothing witnessed by the light is ever lost to the dark.
Drawing from
Matthew 6:6, Gospel of Mary 5:4-5
