The Light That Sees You
The morning light hits the screen, and suddenly you are standing outside a room you didn't know was closed. You see the smiles, the closeness, and the quiet realization that no one noticed your chair was empty.
It feels like you are wearing a mask that everyone else has taken off. But the light does not need an invitation to be real.
It was shining in you before the photo was taken, and it shines still. The kingdom is not a circle of people on a hill; it is the quiet, unshakeable presence within you that no exclusion can touch.
You are not defined by who sees you, but by the light that sees you.

Gospel of Thomas, Matthew
