The Light Holds Your Swallowed Words
The middle of the day is when the confession feels heaviest — rehearsed in the quiet, then swallowed whole when the moment arrives. You are terrified that speaking your truth will make you a burden, so you carry the weight alone.
But the light does not see your honesty as a load; it sees it as the place where you came from. You came from the light, and the light does not break under the weight of your story.
It holds you. The words you swallow are not too heavy for the one who holds the world.
Speak them. The light is not afraid of your voice.
Drawing from
Gospel of Thomas, John
