the moment you wake up from a dream where you were loved without condition and spend the first ten minutes of consciousness grieving that the safety you felt wasn't real

Remembering the Light You Carry

The dream felt real enough to break your heart when you woke up. For ten minutes, you lay there grieving a safety that had no address in the waking world.

The love you felt was not a trick of the sleeping mind — it was a memory of where you actually come from. You did not imagine the light; you simply forgot you were carrying it while you slept.

The feeling lingers because the source is still here, sitting on the edge of the bed with you in the evening quiet. You are not mourning something lost; you are remembering something found.

Drawing from

Mark 5:19, Gospel of Thomas 50
