The One is the help that never has to leave, at home in every heart.
The Arc
Think of everyone who helps you. A doctor when you are sick. A friend when you are down. A sister or a brother. Be grateful for each of them. Each one helps in their own season. The One is the help who stays through all of it. Whatever the One sets moving happens. The One washes off whatever weighs you down, like mud off your shoes. The One lives in every heart, yours and everyone else's. The One never comes and never goes. The One is simply here. People who love the One live on that, the way you live on breath. At the centre, the opening line: the One alone is our help and support.
