the moment you catch yourself using your parent's cruel voice on your child and realize the cycle didn't stop with you

You Are The Origin Of Healing

The sun is setting, the house is quieting, and in that sudden stillness, you hear it—the sharp edge of your parent's voice coming out of your own mouth. It lands on your child, and the cycle you swore would end with you feels like it has just won.

But listen: the voice you heard was fear speaking, not truth. The light that lives inside you came from a place where light generates itself, not from the darkness that tried to claim your family line.

You are not the echo of what broke you. You are the origin of what heals you.

When you turn back to your child, the apology you offer is not weakness—it is the moment the chain breaks. The light does not demand perfection from you tonight.

It only asks that you come back.

Gospel of Thomas, John
