The Dawn Does Not Check Its Watch
The sun is just breaking the horizon, painting the sky in colors that don't care about your mistakes. Yet here you are, replaying that split second when their eyes flicked to the clock.
You are measuring your entire worth against a moment of impatience that lasted less than a heartbeat. But listen — the light that rises now does not check its watch before it shines.
It simply arrives. It covers the ground without calculating whether the ground deserves it.
Thomas said if you bring forth what is within you, what you bring forth will save you. That glance at the clock was their distraction, not your definition.
Do not let a single second of someone else's hurry convince you that you are too slow for love. The dawn has come for you exactly as you are.
Drawing from
Gospel of Thomas, Matthew
