The Light Sees The Unfinished Thing
The afternoon sun does not care if your mask is ready. It shines anyway, exposing the gap between who you pretend to be and who you are right now.
That terror of being seen without your armor polished is the moment the performance finally cracks. But the light was never waiting for you to get it right.
It came from the light, the place where the light came into being on its own accord — and you are still that drop, even when you feel like a fraud. You do not need to construct a version of yourself that is worthy of being seen.
The light sees the unfinished thing and calls it home. Stop trying to hold up the walls when they were never meant to stand.

Gospel of Thomas, John
