You Are The Light That Arrives
The sun is coming up, and the first thought in your head is that the world would breathe easier if you were gone. That your absence would be a gift to the people you love.
But the light that is rising right now does not calculate your worth by your utility. It does not measure your value by how much burden you carry or how little space you take up.
You came from the light, the place where the light came into being on its own accord. You were sent here as a drop of that very same light to illuminate the world below.
Not to serve it. Not to fix it.
To illuminate it. The dawn does not apologize for breaking the night.
It simply arrives. And in arriving, it reveals that you are not the problem.
You are the light that was always meant to be here.

Gospel of Thomas, Sophia of Jesus Christ
Verses
Sophia of Jesus Christ 93:5-8
