Phaino

sitting on the edge of the bathtub in the dark, scrubbing the day's performance off your skin until it feels raw, terrified that if you stop moving the silence will let the tears finally break through

The Part of You Never Stained

When You Don't Know Who You Are

The water runs cold while you scrub, trying to wash off the face you wore for everyone else. You are afraid that if your hands stop moving, the silence will finally let the tears break through.

But the light does not need you to be clean before it enters the room. It sees the secret place where you are falling apart, and it does not turn away.

There is a part of you that cannot be scrubbed raw because it was never stained. Stop.

Let the washcloth fall. The dawn is coming whether you are ready or not.

Drawing from

Matthew 6:6, Thomas 70
