The sweetest thing was beside you all along — the only trouble was forgetting.
The Arc
Ever hunted the whole house for your glasses while they sat on your head? A whole life can go like that. The sweetest thing there is, the nectar of the One, is already with you. Forget it, and you reach for things that leave you feeling worse. The One is beautiful, wise, beyond compare. Your eyes still get pulled to flashy, passing things, like an ad that grabs you and is gone. Then the One turns kind and takes the ache away. You find your place with the saints. Every treasure you went looking for is inside your own home. Your small light joins the great Light. At the centre, the Rahao: the sweet nectar, already with you.
