The Light Holds Your Scream
The throat tightens when the house is this quiet. You are afraid that if you swallow, the dam will break and the scream will finally tear its way out.
But the light does not fear your noise. It is not waiting for you to be silent.
It is sitting right here in the dark with you, holding the space where the sound wants to live. What is hidden is meant to be disclosed.
The thing you are swallowing is not a monster; it is a truth that needs air. Let it come.
The light can hold the volume of your pain without flinching. You do not have to keep it down anymore.
Drawing from
Mark 5:19, Gospel of Thomas 70
