"That alone is the realm of the good — where the One is sung together."
The Arc
Find the people who remember the One, and stay near them. There, the One comes to live in your mind. Wrongs run off. The way you live grows clean, and love for the One grows. Any place where the One's praises are sung is that kind of gathering. There, even the fear of death goes quiet. Your words come out clean. It is a seat that never wobbles. The ache of feeling cut off from everyone runs away. A gathering like that cannot be broken. The One rests there, woven through it like thread through cloth. At the centre, the Rahao: wherever the praises of the One are sung, that is the company of the One's people.
