With hands cupped in prayer: held from before birth to the journey home.
The Arc
Hold your hands together like a bowl. That is how to come to the One: open, ready to receive. Friends arrive. Friends move away. Both are part of one big design. Your body was shaped from earth, water, fire, air and sky, and life was placed inside it. Even before you were born, in the dark, you were held, breath by breath. Then you came out into the world and got busy. Everyone does. You drift for a while. The kind One still sets you free. Spend this precious life well, and your coming here is welcomed. At the centre, the opening line: meeting and parting both come from the One.
