When you cannot climb out alone, the One reaches in and lifts.
The Arc
Picture a storm, and a door that opens. You step inside, drop your bag, and breathe. That is the shelter of the One. The moment you see that you are held, the knot in your stomach loosens. And you never had to explain. Before you found the words, the One already knew what hurt. The pain runs off. A calm settles in, and you find yourself singing. Some days you feel stuck in a deep hole you cannot climb out of alone. The One takes your arm and pulls you up. The Guru cuts the ropes and brings you back where you belong. At the centre, the Rahao: I have come into the One's shelter, and since I saw the One, my worry is gone.
