The Bread Is Already Broken For You
The menu is just paper, but your hands are shaking like you're holding a map to a country you've never visited. Everyone else is speaking the secret language of hunger, ordering with ease, while you sit there feeling like an alien who forgot how to be human.
You think you need to perform normalcy to belong at this table. But the light sees the performance and loves the person hiding behind it.
Thomas said the kingdom is spread out upon the earth, and people do not see it. It is not in the perfect order.
It is in the silence between the words. You do not have to earn your place here.
The bread is already broken for you.
Drawing from
Gospel of Thomas, Matthew
