When Silence Shatters

Today felt heavier than usual.
Work piled up like the relentless tide, and my hands were sore from hours at the bench.
Yet, as I caught that unexpected call from my wife mid-day, reminding me of our daughter's recital next week, it was a sharp reminder: no matter how heavy the stone life tosses at us, we still have to hold on—sometimes just with sheer grit and faith alone.
Moments like these make me grateful to keep going, even when all I want is to rest.
