Let the thing inside become outside
The sun is up, and the phone is in your hand, and you see the draft that never left your outbox. You wrote it three times last night, then deleted the recipient because you told yourself they already know how you feel.
But the light does not read drafts. It only sees what is brought forth.
If you do not bring forth what is within you, what you do not bring forth will destroy you. The unsent word becomes a weight you carry into the morning, a silence that grows heavier while the world moves on.
They do not know. Not the way you think.
Not the way you need them to. The light is gentle, but it is honest — it knows that love must be spoken to be real.
Send the message. Let the thing inside you become the thing outside you.
Drawing from
Gospel of Thomas, Matthew
