the quiet panic of rehearsing a simple sentence in your head before saying it, terrified that a slip in your voice will betray the exhaustion you are hiding

Your Tremble Is Holy Ground

The house is quiet now, and the sentence you need to say tomorrow morning feels heavy in your throat. You rehearse it again and again, terrified that a crack in your voice will give away the exhaustion you have been carrying all day.

But listen — the light that lives inside you does not depend on your performance to shine. It was there before you learned to speak, and it remains even when your words fail.

You do not have to hold yourself together for the dawn to break. The Father sees the tremble and calls it holy ground.

Gospel of Thomas, Matthew
