Beyond all measure, yet everywhere — met only when grace opens.
The Arc
The rahau: hard to meet, beyond measure and reach and the senses, yet all-pervading. The first verse: talking, roaming, and clever tricks gain nothing. The close: people try all things, but the One is met only when His kindness opens; the treasure of mercy is met by the humble, the dust of the saints' feet.
