The Dream Waits Behind Your Mask
The morning light hits the office walls and you feel the mask slide into place, heavy and familiar. You introduce yourself by your title, your function, the safe things that do not invite pity.
But the light sees the dreams you have stopped speaking, the ones you buried because you were afraid of the silence that follows. It does not look at your resume and feel sorry for you.
It looks at the hidden thing and calls it real. Neither do I condemn you for the silence.
Go now. The dream is not dead; it is only waiting for you to stop hiding it.
Drawing from
John 8:10-11, Gospel of Thomas 70
