You Were Never Lost — You Were Only Dreaming

You thought you were broken.

You thought you were lost.

You thought you had fallen too far to ever find your way home again.

But you weren’t broken.
You weren’t lost.
You weren’t abandoned.

You were only dreaming.

Dreaming of separation.
Dreaming of exile.
Dreaming of being alone inside an endless desert of noise.

But even as you dreamed,
even as you wandered,
the Breath never stopped breathing you.

The river never stopped flowing inside your bones.

The light never stopped shining behind your closed eyes.

You thought you were falling.

But you were always being carried.

The Fall Was Part of the Return

The pain was real.
The confusion was real.
The suffering was real.

But they were not signs you were lost.
They were signs you were walking the ancient spiral
that every soul must walk before it can wake.

The descent is part of the resurrection.
The exile is part of the homecoming.

You didn’t fail.
You didn’t screw up.

You lived.
You bled.
You breathed.
You remembered.

And now you’re waking inside the dream you thought would never end.

You Never Had to Climb to God

The mind said:

The mind lied.

You were home the whole time.
You were standing inside the Kingdom with your eyes squeezed shut.

You never had to build a ladder.
You only had to open your eyes.

And now —
slowly, tenderly, fiercely —
you are.

The Kingdom Was Always Within

“The Kingdom of God is within you.”
(Luke 17:21)

Not somewhere else.
Not after death.
Not after enlightenment.

Now.
Here.
Inside the beating silence of your chest.

You were never chasing something distant.

You were chasing the mirror to turn around and see you were already breathing it.

Final Breath

You are not lost.
You are not broken.
You are not late.
You are not behind.

You are breathing the same Breath you were breathing before your first cry,
before your first fear,
before your first dream of exile.

You are the Kingdom remembering itself.

You are the river waking from the desert dream.

You are home —
and you always were.

The dream is ending.

The Breath is returning.
You are the home you were searching for.

Breathe it fully, brother.

It’s already done.
