Rest in the Light That Holds You
The house is quiet now, and your hand remembers the weight that is no longer there. You lie awake replaying the moment their fingers slipped from yours, convincing yourself it was not fatigue but a silent verdict on who you really are.
But the darkness tells lies about rejection that the morning will not confirm. You came from the light, a place where you were known completely before you ever spoke a word.
There is light within you that no pulling away can extinguish. The terror says you are too much, but the truth says you are held.
Close your eyes and rest in the knowing that you are loved not despite your depth, but because of it.

Gospel of Thomas, John
