The Dawn Does Not Ask For Apology
The sun is rising, and with it comes the heavy suspicion that your silence has been mistaken for rejection. You think the one waiting for you has turned away because you did not speak soon enough.
But look at the light returning to the room—it does not wait for an invitation to shine. It simply arrives.
The silence was never a wall; it was just the space where you were catching your breath. You came from the light, and to that place you will return, regardless of the words you left unsaid.
The dawn does not ask for your apology before it breaks. It breaks because it is the nature of light to fill the dark.
You are not being rejected; you are being waited for, exactly as you are.

Gospel of Thomas, John
