Your Own Hands Hold the Light
The house is quiet now, and the truth you have been carrying feels heavier than it did at sunset. You waited for someone else to hold it with you, to validate the thing you know deep in your bones, but the room remains empty.
The realization is sharp and lonely: no one else is coming to carry this. You must take it back.
You must be the one to hold your own light when the world refuses to see it. There is light within a person of light, and it lights up the whole world.
If you do not shine it yourself, it remains dark. The waiting is over.
The only hands available to hold your truth are your own.

Gospel of Thomas 24, Matthew 6:4
