Your Silence Did Not Extinguish The Light
The sun is up now, but your mind is still stuck in that room, saying the words you swallowed yesterday. You played the scene perfectly in the dark, but the moment came and the voice died in your throat.
That gap between what you meant and what you said feels like a failure. But the light does not measure you by your courage in the moment.
It sees the truth you carried, even if you couldn't speak it. There is light within a person of light, and it lights up the whole world.
Your silence did not extinguish it. The thing you wanted to say is already known.
You do not have to go back and fix it to be held.
Drawing from
Gospel of Thomas 24, 1 John 3:19-20
