Come with empty hands and an honest heart, and the shelter takes the weight in an instant.
The Arc
Sometimes everyone else seems at peace. Your friends sleep easy, as if the One they love already lives in their home. So you ask for help, the way a child asks a mother. Come as you are. You have faults, and the One is always kind. Leave the clever tricks behind. Catch yourself when you act as if you are already as loving as the most loving people. That is ego being stubborn. Let it go. Come humble, and choose one shelter. Pain can lift in a single moment. Then the long night of life passes in peace. At the centre, the Rahao: ask for help to meet the One you love.
