Stop Rehearsing Your Apology to the Light
The sun is rising, and already your mind is rehearsing the speech. You are practicing how to say sorry for needing comfort at all.
Sorry for the weight you carry. Sorry for the tears that fell while the house was quiet.
But listen — the light does not require an apology before it offers rest. It saw the woman who wet his feet with her tears and did not ask her to explain herself first.
It simply said: your faith has saved you; go in peace. You do not need to justify your hunger to the one who feeds you.
The dawn is not waiting for you to be strong. It is here because you are here.
Stop rehearsing the speech. The light already knows the weight, and it calls it worthy of care.

Luke 7:44-48, Gospel of Thomas 3
