You Are Whole Without Another
The morning light hits the street and suddenly the world looks like it was built for two. You walk through the crowd wearing a face that says 'I'm fine,' while inside you feel like a ghost no one can see.
But the light does not need a partner to be real. It is not waiting for someone else to complete you before it shines.
Thomas said the kingdom is inside you and outside you, hidden in plain sight even when your eyes are downcast. You are not invisible because you are alone; you are invisible because you are looking for a reflection in another person instead of recognizing the source within yourself.
The mask slips when you realize you were never designed to be half of something. You are already whole.
The light you carry does not dim just because there is no one standing beside you.

Gospel of Thomas, John
