You are the breath in my breath; whatever You do, I trust it is good.
The Arc
Breathe in. Breathe out. You did not have to think about it. The One is that close, the support under every breath you take. So you bow, again and again, the way you hug someone who means everything to you. You remember the One sitting in class, standing in line, falling asleep, waking up. The good days and the hard ones, you can bring all of it and lay it out, the way you would tell your mom about your day. The One is your shelter, your strength, your clear head and your family. Whatever comes, you can trust it is good, and rest. At the centre, the Rahao: the One as the support of every breath, bowed to again and again.
