Maybe nobody at school knows your name yet. That's okay. You are known as the One's own, and that is enough to stand on. If you trip, the One lifts you up and carries you across. You don't need to be famous or impressive. Think of a fish. It lives in water every second and never has to look for it. You live in the One like that. The same One fills every world and every star you can see. So ask for the Sangat, people who help you remember. Stay humble, like dust on a path everyone walks. At the centre, the Rahao: unknown to the world, known as the One's own, and held up by that alone.
