The Night Is Not a Courtroom
The house is quiet, but your mind is loud. You hear the sigh from the other side of the bed and instantly translate it into a verdict: it's about the money, it's about what you lack, it's about you failing them.
The darkness loves to write that story when the lights go out. But the sigh is just breath.
It is not a gavel. You came from the light — that is your origin, not your bank account.
The light within you is already shining, even if you feel dim right now. Neither do I condemn you for the debt, for the fear, or for the story you told yourself in the dark.
Go now. The night is not a courtroom.
It is a cradle.

Gospel of Thomas, John
