The Light Saw You First
The sun is up, and the mask is already on. You are performing okayness for the people who raised you, terrified that if you speak the truth, you will lose them forever.
But the kingdom is not a place you travel to—it is inside you, and it is outside you. When you come to know yourselves, then you will be known.
The light saw you before you ever spoke a word. Neither do I condemn you.
Go now. The truth does not destroy family.
It reveals who was never really there.
Drawing from
Gospel of Thomas, John
