Put Down the Script of Fear
The room is warm, but you are miles away, rehearsing disasters that haven't happened yet. Then comes the laugh — the one you missed because your mind was already in tomorrow.
The gap between you and the person you love feels like an ocean right now. You are present in body, but absent in spirit, trapped in a future that does not exist.
But listen — the light is not in the rehearsal. It is here, in this quiet room, in the sound of that laugh you didn't catch.
You came from the light, and to that place you will return. Stop trying to build a fortress out of worry.
The light is already here, waiting for you to put down the script of your fear and simply be found. You do not need to earn your way back to this moment.
Just wake up. The laugh is still happening.
The love is still right beside you.

Gospel of Thomas, Luke
