The Light Stands in Your Hesitation
The afternoon light is harsh, exposing every crack in the mask you wear while the world moves on. You type the words, then delete them, convinced that showing the raw edge of your need is too dangerous.
But the light does not wait for you to be polished before it draws near. It stands in the middle of your hesitation, knowing that what you bury in the dark only grows heavier.
Bring forth what is within you, even if it trembles, because the thing you hide is the very thing that saves you. The vulnerability you fear is actually the door opening.

Gospel of Thomas 70, Matthew 6:4
