A helping voice, a glad crossing, and a heart fastened where it belongs.
The Arc
The One is already inside you, in your mind and in your body. You do not have to go looking. So use your voice for two things. Sing the praise of the One. Then do something good for someone else. Do both, every day, and your voice becomes worth more than anything money can buy. The world can feel like a tangled forest, full of things that pull you off the path. You can walk through it glad. Keep remembering the One, again and again. And when the water feels wide and rough, there is a boat: the humble feet of the One. It carries you across. At the centre, the Rahao: the One within, and a tongue that praises and helps beyond price.
