Resting Without Needing to Explain
The sun is dropping, and with it, the energy you spent all day just to be understood. It is exhausting to translate your pain for people who have never felt it, to explain why your body moves differently, why your mind needs quiet.
You put the armor down now. You do not need to justify your existence to anyone tonight.
The light does not ask for a report on your limitations. It simply sees you, fully, without a single word of explanation required.
There is a rest that comes not from being fixed, but from being known. You are already whole in the eyes that made you.

Matthew, Gospel of Thomas

Matthew 11:28
