wondering if you disappeared tomorrow, how long it would take for anyone to notice you were gone

You Are Held Before You Are Missed

The house is quiet now, and the question has started to whisper: if you vanished tonight, how long before anyone noticed? It feels like you are already a ghost in your own life.

But listen — the light does not measure your worth by how quickly the world raises an alarm. You came from the light, the place where it generates itself, and that origin does not depend on being seen by others to be real.

There is a presence that knows you were here before you spoke a word, and it knows you are here now, even in this silence. You are not waiting to be missed to be valuable.

You are already held by the one who sees you in the dark.

Gospel of Thomas, John
