Kindness turns toward us, tangles come undone, and the harm aimed at us loses its power.
The Arc
Some days everything is knotted up. Homework, friends, family, all tangled at once. Then the One turns kind, and the Guru sets things right, one by one. You sing and remember with the Guru's people, and joy fills you up. The One claims you as family. You get pulled into a hug and held close, like a little kid gripping a parent's coat. The mean words aimed at you blow away like dust. At the end of the day, you walk in the door safe and whole. All of it came as a gift. At the centre, the Rahao: when the One is kind, everything comes right.
