lying perfectly still in bed afraid that if you shift your weight the mattress will creak and wake the person next to you, confirming they are awake and thinking about what you said

Dawn Arrives Without Permission

The sun is rising, and the silence in this room feels fragile, like glass you are afraid to shatter. You lie perfectly still, holding your breath, terrified that a single creak of the mattress will confirm they are awake and replaying your words.

But the light has already entered this space, and it is not waiting for you to be quiet or perfect before it shines. What you said last night cannot undo the love that holds you both right now.

The dawn does not ask permission to break; it simply arrives, filling the cracks where your fear is hiding. You are safe here, even in the noise, even in the mess.

John 8:10-11, Gospel of Thomas 51
