Kept safe before I asked, the Name melted the worries away.
The Arc
Some trouble you can name. Some worries just sit on your chest. The One takes care of its own, and gives the Naam as a gift. When the Naam settles in your heart, the heavy stuff starts to melt. So sing. Let the praise come off your tongue like you are handing out jewels. Wants that felt like they would never end can finally go quiet, and something inside you feels fed. Hold on to the One who gives peace. Follow the Guru's word. Doubt goes. Fear goes. The wide water you were scared of gets crossed. At the centre, the Rahao: the One keeping its own safe, and every sorrow gone with the gift of the Naam.
