Nothing is hidden from the One who knows within; forgetting is an ache, and remembering is the healing.
The Arc
You cannot hide anything from the One who knows every heart. That is good news. You can stop pretending. Your body is here for a short while, which makes each day precious. Think about eating at a friend's house every single day. They feed you and look after you. Now picture never saying thank you. That is what forgetting the One looks like. All the good in your life comes from somewhere. Forgetting it leaves a deep ache inside, one nothing outside can fix. Remembering is the medicine. Turn back, say thank you, and feel the ache ease. At the centre, the Rahao: the One who feeds you, kept in mind.
