When you are fully known, growing wise is the most natural thing in the world.
The Arc
The Rahau names the whole self — mind, body, tongue — turned toward the One, and the joy that arrives as worry leaves: peace given, not earned. The first verse shows fumbling turning to wisdom under the gaze of the One who sees clearly, and the protecting hand that makes harm powerless. The close gathers it into single-pointed trust: love for holy company, and a mind that no longer chases other promises.
