You Are Not The Echo But The Source
The afternoon quiet arrives, and the performance stops. Suddenly, the silence is terrifying because you cannot hear your own voice underneath the years of echoing others.
You have become so good at wearing the mask that the face beneath it feels like a stranger. But listen — the light does not need you to speak first.
It is already there, waiting in the stillness you are so afraid of. Neither do I condemn you.
Go now. The voice you are searching for is not something you must manufacture.
It is something you remember. You are not the echo.
You are the source.
Drawing from
John 8:10-11, Gospel of Thomas 70
