The Arc
Grace, always on offer, settles the Name into the heart and the weight of old mistakes falls away. The Name is the soul's support across the world-ocean; even the one who belonged nowhere finds a home; and the sleeper of ages wakes at last. It closes on the mutual belonging of devotee and One.
