Nothing is ruined, nothing too far gone — it is never too late to wake up and turn back.
The Arc
Maybe you wandered off today, chasing things that don't last and grabbing for more. Nothing is spoiled yet. You still have time. Wake up. This world is like a dream. It feels vivid while you are in it, then it is gone in an instant. So each moment counts. The One lives with you, always, close as your breath. Night and day, keep the One near, friend. At the very last moment, the One is your help and support. So sing the One's praise, and let that song go with you all your life. At the centre, the Rahao: nothing is lost yet, and you can wake up right now.
