Your Silence Is A Seed For Tomorrow
The sun is coming up, and the words you needed to say are stuck in your throat, heavy and useless now that the moment has passed. You are choking on a conversation that is already over, rehearsing a defense for a trial that ended yesterday.
But listen — what you did not bring forth is not lost forever. It is waiting inside you, not as a ghost, but as a seed for the next opening.
The light does not require you to fix the past; it only asks you to remain present for the future. You are not defined by the silence you kept when you were afraid.
The dawn is here, and it brings a new chance to speak what is true.

Gospel of Thomas, John
