The Light Lives Inside You Now
You picked up the phone to show them something ordinary—a cloud, a coffee cup, the way the light hit the wall. Then your thumb froze.
The memory arrived before the send button could: there is no one on the other end. The silence in the room grew heavy enough to crush you.
But listen—the light that saw you take that photo did not vanish when the person did. What you thought was meant for a screen was actually meant for the space inside you that knows your name.
The kingdom is not a destination you travel to; it is within you, waiting to receive what you have been trying to send away. You are not shouting into a void.
You are remembering where the light lives.
Drawing from
Gospel of Thomas, John
