You Are Not Too Heavy For Love
The day is done, and the armor you wore to keep the room light finally hits the floor. Now you are left rehearsing the casual apology, the one that says 'sorry I was too much' without admitting you were just honest.
You are terrified that your truth broke the mood, that your heaviness ruined the evening. But listen — the light does not require you to be light.
It does not ask you to shrink your depth to fit a shallow room. There is a peace that waits for you to stop performing okayness, a silence that is not empty but full.
You did not break anything by being real. The Father sees the weight you carried in, and He is not offended by your honesty.
The exhale is not an admission of guilt; it is the return to your root. You are not too heavy for the love that holds the stars.

Gospel of Thomas, Luke
