avoiding eye contact with the specific person who saw you tremble because you believe they now see you as fundamentally weak

The Light That Survived The Shaking

The hours between three and five are thick with the memory of eyes that saw you shake. You believe they saw weakness.

You believe the tremor defined you. But the light that lives inside you was there before the trembling began, and it remains untouched by the shaking.

You came from the light, the place where light generates itself, and no human gaze can rewrite that origin. The one who watched you tremble does not hold the verdict on your soul.

You are not what you felt in that moment of exposure. You are the light that survived it.

Gospel of Thomas, John
