Love can make you a little crazy, in a good way. You get ready for the One you love the way you would dress up for someone special. People may talk about you behind your back. Let them. Your body and mind are joined with the One, and their words stay outside. Skip the arguments. Use your voice to taste something sweet instead. Deep down you know the meeting is set, and you can walk toward it openly, as if a drum were playing. Praise or blame, you have met the One you love. At the centre, the Rahao: let people say what they like; my body and mind are joined with the One I love.
