The Light Between Thumb and Glass
The screen glows in the gathering dark, a small rectangle holding all your hope. You refresh.
Nothing. You refresh again.
The silence feels like a verdict, heavy and final. But the light does not live in the notification bar.
It lives in the quiet space between your thumb and the glass. Thomas said we came from the light, a place where it generates itself on its own accord.
Your worth is not generated by a reply. It is self-generating.
You are a drop from that source, sent here to illuminate this very moment of waiting. Put the phone down.
The answer you are looking for is already resting inside you, independent of who writes back.

Gospel of Thomas, Sophia of Jesus Christ

Sophia of Jesus Christ 93:5-8
