You Do Not Owe The Morning An Apology
The sun is rising, but your mind is still in the room where the silence grew too heavy to bear. You are rehearsing an apology you never intended to give, crafting words just to make the quiet stop.
But the light does not need your performance to break the dawn. It rises whether you speak or whether you stay still.
Thomas said the kingdom is inside you and outside you, waiting for you to know yourself beneath the words you think you owe. You do not have to explain your way into the morning.
The light saw you before you formed a single sentence. It knows the truth you haven't spoken yet.
The apology is not the price of admission to this new day. You are already here.
Drawing from
Gospel of Thomas 3, John 1:48
