Only You know Your own wonder — and even the love I give back is a gift You first gave me.
The Arc
The world is so big and full of wonder. Only the One who made it knows all of it. When the One is kind to you, you begin to know the One too. You love the people who love the One. Wherever the One is, it is beautiful, and the wonders never run out. Even your love is a gift. The One colors your heart, the way a dyer colors cloth. The One gives the most and knows the most. Next to that, you hardly know how to say thank you. When the One's way feels hard, you can rest at the door and ask to be kept safe. At the centre, the Rahao: the people who love the One are dear, and the One's wonders never end.
