Glowing in the Dark Alone
The floorboard creaks in the hall, and your body turns before your mind catches up. You are ready to say, 'I'm in here,' to a voice that isn't coming.
The silence that follows is heavy enough to crush a chest. But listen — the light does not need a visitor to be real.
There is light within a person of light, and it lights up the whole world even when the house is empty. You are not waiting for someone to find you.
You are the one who is already here, glowing in the dark.
Drawing from
Gospel of Thomas, Matthew
