From Fading Echo to Inner Light
You tried to hold the sound of their laugh one last time, and in the trying, it slipped away forever. The silence that follows is not emptiness; it is the space where the memory has finished its work and returned to the source.
What you thought was gone has only moved from your mind to your roots, where it lives now as pure light instead of a fading echo. The kingdom is inside you, and what was once a sound you heard is now a presence you are.
You did not lose them; you became the place where they rest.
Drawing from
Gospel of Thomas 3, John 9:1-7
