You Are the Light Coming Home
The house is awake now, and you are holding your breath so the mask doesn't slip. You lie perfectly still, terrified that a single sigh will reveal the stranger living in their home.
But the light does not need your performance to recognize you. It knows the face beneath the fear.
You came from the light, the place where it generates itself, and that origin cannot be hidden by a quiet morning. There is no disguise deep enough to fool the one who sees in secret.
The mask was never required for you to belong here. You are not a guest waiting to be discovered; you are the light itself, finally coming home.

Gospel of Thomas, Matthew
