Your Emptiness Is Where Light Lives
The day is done, and the armor you wore for twelve hours finally hits the floor. Now comes the silence.
And in that silence, you try to pray, but your mouth feels like a dry well. You are terrified that if you open your lips, only emptiness will come out.
That you have nothing worthy to say. But listen — the light does not need your performance.
It does not need your eloquence. It came from the light, and to the light it returns.
You do not have to manufacture words to be heard. The emptiness you feel is not a rejection; it is the space where the light lives.
You came from the light. You are still that light.
Even when you have no words, the source recognizes its own.

Gospel of Thomas, Luke
