Lean on the One who can hold you; flow with the way life moves, set down the worrying, and be colored through with a quiet love.
The Arc
Some days you lean on things that wobble. A grade. A streak. What people think of you. Lean on the One instead. The Naam holds you up from the inside, wherever you go. The One keeps you, gives to you and looks after you with every breath, even while you sleep. Whatever the One is doing is good and great. Peace comes from living in that Will. So set down the worrying and the endless scorekeeping in your head. It is a heavy bag at the end of a long day, and you can put it down. The One never fades and never leaves. At the centre, the Rahao: the Naam, the support of all who take shelter in the One.
