Phaino

the quiet terror that you have become a stranger to the person you used to be

The Stranger You Fear Is Soil

When You're Burning Inside

The house is quiet now, and in the settling dark, the face in the mirror feels unfamiliar. You mourn the person you used to be before the world wore you down, before the grief carved new lines into your spirit.

But the light does not require you to be who you were yesterday. It meets you in the ruin of your own expectations and says: neither do I condemn you.

Go now. The stranger you fear you have become is simply the soil where something new is waiting to take root.

You are not lost; you are being remade.

Drawing from

John 8:10-11, Gospel of Thomas 70
