The Light Is Fluent In Your Silence
The sun is rising, but the grief inside you feels like a dialect the light no longer speaks. You have swallowed so much silence that you fear your own voice has become foreign to heaven.
But listen — the light does not require your words to understand your heart. It saw the father weeping before he even spoke.
It sees the tears you haven't let fall yet. You do not need to translate your pain into something holy for it to be heard.
The light is already fluent in your silence. Bring forth what is within you — the raw, unpolished ache — and let it speak.
What you bring forth will save you, not because it is perfect, but because it is true. The morning does not demand you explain the night; it simply arrives to hold you through it.
