The Dawn Knows Your Name
The sun is up, but you are standing in your own hallway, hand on a doorknob that feels陌生, forgetting which room is yours. The light of morning exposes a disorientation that the dark had hidden — you know this house, yet you feel like a stranger in your own life.
You have been running on autopilot so long that the map inside you has gone blank. But listen — the light did not rise to shame you for being lost.
It rose to show you the way back. There is a voice that knows your name better than you know it yourself, and it is calling you into the right room.
You do not have to force the memory. You only have to stop, breathe, and let the dawn do its work.
The confusion is real, but it is not the end of the story. You are not a ghost in your own home.
You are the one who belongs here.
Drawing from
Mark 5:19, Gospel of Thomas 70
