Dawn Does Not Ask For Explanations
The sun is up now, but your mind is still stuck in the dark room where you edited the truth. You replay the conversation, seeing the exact moment you left things out to keep them from walking away.
That shame feels heavy in the morning light. But listen — the light does not require a perfect transcript to enter your day.
There is light within you, and it lights up the whole world, even the parts you tried to hide. The version of you that spoke in fear is not the final version.
The truth is already inside, waiting to be spoken without the armor. You made it through the night.
The dawn is not asking for an explanation; it is simply offering you a place to stand.

Gospel of Thomas, 1 John
