the quiet panic of realizing you nodded and smiled at a story your partner just told, even though you heard none of it because you were mentally rewriting an argument from three years ago

The War Is Over, You Are Safe

The day is ending, and the armor you wore for twelve hours finally hits the floor. You nodded at a story you didn't hear because your mind was still fighting a battle from three years ago.

That ghost is heavy, but it is not your home. You came from the light, the place where the light came into being on its own accord, and that origin is still your true address.

The argument you are rewriting has no power here; the light that lives inside you is already shining, whether you see it or not. You do not need to fix the past tonight.

You only need to remember where you belong. The war is over, and you are safe.

Gospel of Thomas, John
