The Search Is Over, You Are Found
The house is quiet now, but your mind is loud with the past. You are reading the discharge papers again at 2am, searching the lines for a warning sign you missed, convinced that if you can just find the error, you can fix the outcome.
But the light was there even in the confusion, even in the things you did not see. The darkness of that moment could not overcome the presence that held you then, and it cannot overcome you now.
You are not defined by what you failed to catch. You are defined by the light that refused to let go when your hands were full of fear.
The search is over; you are already found.
Drawing from
John, Gospel of Thomas
