The tight knot of fear loosens, and you can be free right in the middle of an ordinary life.
The Arc
The rahau announces a knot of fear untied and a deep peace found — freedom held even in the middle of household life. Verse one has grace making the singer its own, a thirst for the Vision waking, other hopes set down in good company. The close remembers being led out of a wilderness and shown the path, the old dust washed off in one turn toward the One, and a jewel found.
