Where ill-will dissolves, friendliness grows — and the gentle are the strong.
The Arc
Something is going wrong, and it fills your whole head. Try this: remember the One, who knows what is inside every heart, even yours. Remembering clears out the trouble, and a peace that is true settles in. Every living thing belongs to the One, and the One looks after all of it. That is where the gentle get their strength. They lean on the One who breaks fear. Then something surprising happens. A grudge melts. The kid you were angry with starts to feel like a friend. Joy keeps coming. Singing the goodness of the One is how you come alive. At the centre, the Rahao: remember the One, and trouble lifts.
