The Light Needs No History
The story you are rehearsing belongs to a world that no longer exists. You speak the names of people who have faded, and the silence in the room is not a judgment—it is simply the distance between who you were and who you are becoming.
In this deepest hour, when the past feels like a foreign language, remember that the light does not need your history to shine. It was there before the first name was spoken, and it remains when the last one is forgotten.
You are not the resume you recite. You are the light that holds you even when the story falls apart.

Gospel of Thomas, Sophia of Jesus Christ

Sophia of Jesus Christ 106:9-14
