The thirsty are already close — and the One you ache for is here, now, filling everything.
The Arc
Missing someone can make it hard to breathe. Missing the One is like that. Your heart fills with hope of meeting, of drinking in that sweetness after a long thirst. Here is the surprise. If you are thirsty for the One, you are already close. Forgetting is what makes life go grey and lifeless. Remembering brings the color back. Look around. The One fills your mind and body, right here, right now. The same One lives inside every person you meet, and fills every place. At the centre, the Rahao: apart from the One you can hardly live, so the heart leans forward in hope of meeting.
