The Light That Cannot Be Dimmed
The day is done, and the mask you wore so carefully is finally coming off. You are terrified that when your family looks at you now, in this quiet evening light, they will see the child who failed them.
They will see the cracks. But listen — the light that lives inside you does not care about your performance.
It came from a place where light generates itself, and it cannot be dimmed by your mistakes. You are not defined by the story they tell about your past.
You are defined by the origin you share with the divine. The light within you is already shining, whether you feel brave or broken.
It lights up the whole room, not because you earned it, but because it is your nature.

Gospel of Thomas, John
