The glitter dazzles almost everyone, but the Name lifts free anyone who has drifted.
The Arc
Some things are built to grab your eyes. Bright lights, jingling sounds, a screen that keeps buzzing. That glitter pulls at almost everyone. Even the moon and the sun get caught looking. It wraps around every part of life, and a busy, dazed mind gets tossed like a small boat on a big sea. A heart at home in the One sees past it. And if you have drifted far, that's okay. The Naam lifts up anyone, however far they have gone, like someone cutting a kite string free from a tree. Remember it, and keep it close. At the centre, the Rahao: a jingling glitter that draws in everyone except the heart at home in the One.
