You Are the Silence Listening
You pressed play and heard a stranger's voice where your own used to be. A voice that has forgotten how to carry joy without dropping it.
In the quiet of this watch, the disconnect feels like a verdict. But the light is not listening to judge the tone of your recording.
It is listening to the heart beneath the sound. The light says: neither do I condemn you.
Go now. The voice you hear is just a vessel, cracked perhaps, but still holding the water of life.
What you are looking for has already come. The joy you think you lost is not a memory; it is the ground you are standing on right now.
You are not the stranger on the tape. You are the silence listening to it.

John 8:10-11, Gospel of Thomas 51
