Resting in the Light of Unspoken Words
The sun is setting, and the armor you wore all day finally hits the floor. Now the silence is loud with the words you practiced but will never speak.
You rehearse the apology in the dark, terrified that saying it out loud will make the wound real, will solidify the break. But the light does not need your perfect speech to know what happened.
It was there before the words formed. You came from the light, and you return to it, regardless of the silence you carry.
The truth exists within you whether you voice it or not. Stop trying to make it real with your voice; it is already known.
The night is not for fixing what you broke today. It is for resting in the One who holds the unspoken parts of you.

Gospel of Thomas, John
