Happily lost in loving the One; a love that sees the good in everyone else.
The Arc
Some people will call you weird. A ghost, a wild one, or just an ordinary kid nobody needs to notice. Let them. You can be crazy about the One the way a fan is crazy about a team, so full of love you can talk of nothing else. That kind of crazy starts with awe, the wow you feel under a sky full of stars. It shows in work you do for the One. It shows when you go with the Hukam and drop the clever angles. And it shows when you stop ranking yourself above anyone and start seeing the good in everybody. At the centre, the Rahao: crazy with love for the King, I know no one but the One.
