The Light Refuses To Leave You Broken
The afternoon sun is unforgiving, shining a harsh light on the one moment you wish you could erase. You are replaying the exact second the damage was done, wishing you could freeze time and reach back to take it away.
But the light does not live in the past you cannot change. It lives in the quiet space right now, waiting for you to stop running the tape.
You came from the light, and that origin cannot be undone by a single mistake. The love that formed you is still forming you, even in the wreckage of your regret.
You are not defined by the moment you broke, but by the light that refuses to leave you broken.
Drawing from
Gospel of Thomas, John
