You Are The Reason Light Entered
The afternoon sun is high, and the weight of performing belongs to you right now. You are carrying the exhaustion of proving you belong in rooms that were not built for your shape.
It feels like you must shrink yourself to fit through doors that were designed to keep you out. But there is a rest that does not depend on your ability to convince anyone of your worth.
The light came to the weary and burdened with a promise that changes the math of your day. It said: my yoke is easy and my burden is light.
You do not have to carry the heavy armor of proof any longer. The space you occupy is valid because the light is already there, holding the ground beneath your feet.
You are not an intruder in this world. You are the very reason the light entered it.
Drawing from
Matthew, Gospel of Thomas
