The One too vast to measure is also the One who holds you like a child.
The Arc
There is One so big that no one has ever reached its edge. And you are its small child, fed and kept safe, held by a Mother and Father. Its Names are more than you could ever count. The wisest people think and think, and cannot find a grain of its worth. People sing its praises forever, and the song never reaches the end. Picture a fish in the ocean. It never finds the shore, and it is at home in every drop. When you feel foolish and unsure of your way, hold on to the Naam. It is the one support that keeps you standing. At the centre, the Rahao: the One no one can measure cherishes you like a Mother and Father.
