Let the Silence Become Safe Again
The sun is up, but the house feels heavy with the things your children are no longer saying. They have learned to read your silence as a wall, so they carry their broken pieces somewhere else.
You are awake now, and the grief of that distance is sitting right beside you. But listen — the kingdom is not a destination you have to build; it is already inside you, and it is outside you, waiting to be recognized.
What you are looking for has already come, but you do not see it yet because the shame is so loud. The light does not need you to be perfect before it returns; it only needs you to stop hiding.
Come, sit in this new morning and let the silence become safe again.

Gospel of Thomas, John
