Morning Light Finds You Hiding
The sun is just barely touching the horizon, and your stomach is already tight with the memory of yesterday's silence. You replay the exact second you swallowed the truth, feeling the lie settle like a stone that refuses to digest.
But notice how the morning arrives anyway, indifferent to your regret, pouring its gold into the room where you are hiding. The light does not wait for you to undo the past before it shines on you.
It is already here, illuminating the very thing you wish you could keep in the dark. You are not defined by the moment you stayed quiet.
You are defined by the light that is waking up inside you right now, ready to speak through you today.
Drawing from
Matthew 6:18, Gospel of Thomas 70
