The Light Stays Even When You Fail
The words are wearing a groove in your mind, round and round, while the silence of this hour makes the fear feel like a wall. You are terrified that speaking them will make the break permanent, as if your voice has the power to seal a tomb that love has already left open.
But listen — the light does not wait for your perfect confession to begin its work. It saw the failure before you did, and it stayed.
Say the words. Not to fix the past, but to stop hiding from the present.
The darkness you are afraid of is not the truth you speak; it is the lie you are carrying alone. You came from the light, and you return to it not by being flawless, but by being found.

Gospel of Thomas 50, Mark 2:5
