The Light Between Fear and Love
The house is quiet now, but your heart is racing with the memory of a voice that once terrified you. You hear your own words comforting your child and suddenly freeze, convinced the ghost of your parent has slipped into your throat.
That fear is not a prophecy. It is a wound waking up in the dark.
Split a piece of wood, and the light is there. Lift up a stone, and you will find it there.
The light does not inherit your pain; it lives inside the silence between your fear and your love. You are not repeating the past.
You are breaking it.
Drawing from
Gospel of Thomas 77, Gospel of Thomas 24
