Hold the One in mind and health flows, delight grows steady, and every sense of being apart melts into nearness.
The Arc
A short Du-Pada that closes the run on healing and union. Its Rahau names remembrance as a healing word that brings health of body and heart. The first verse finds a steady daily delight and union in good company; the second closes with remembrance ending the sense of separation, resting in the shelter of the One who causes all.
