Let the morning be enough
You stand in the doorway, watching them sleep, already rehearsing the apologies you know you will fail to deliver tomorrow. The sun is rising outside, but inside, you are still trapped in the night of your own expectations.
What you look forward to has already come, but you do not recognize it because you are too busy planning for a future that does not exist yet. If you bring forth the love that is already within you, it will save you from this cycle of regret; if you keep it buried under guilt, it will only destroy you.
Neither do I condemn you for the moments you missed — go now, and let the light of this new morning be enough.

Gospel of Thomas, John
