Keep the One close, like a picture of someone you love on your lock screen. Sing the One's goodness every day. There is no one else beside Him. He is there when things start, all through the middle, and at the end. When you need a safe place, the One Himself is that place. The whole world rests in His care. Hold on tight to what is true. The peace you find there stays with you, and it does not turn back into pain. At the centre, the Rahao: the One alone, the shelter of the saints.
