NET OF WONDER

QUOTATION INSPIRATION CONTEST

The sea, once it casts its spell, holds on in its net of wonder forever.

NET OF WONDER

I view this way of living
with your large, messy family
in the wild millieu of your crumbling
ancestral home, with everyone's
misdirected notions of economics, and
relationships and reality, as
drowning me in a mysterious sea!
My self is captive, submerged
by the whims of this small world's
unpredictable moods.
And, I see the sense
of family I am experiencing here
has cast me in its spell just as the sea
casts its net,and that I am held
in this net of wonder and love
even as it drowns me and
slowly, pleasingly, pulls me under.
