Think of the face that makes a bad day lighter. Seeing the One works like that, only more. Pains turn and run. So ask the One to stay in sight, right beside your soul. The Beloved holds up every breath you take. The One knows you from the inside and fills everything. The good in the One is too much to list, so keep it simple. Remember the One with each breath. The One is an ocean of kindness, gentle with anyone who feels small. And the love you feel for the One? The One planted it in you first. At the centre, the Rahao: pains running at the sight of the One, and the One living beside the soul.
