Casting and Mending

Casting and Mending

Casting 

stretches and searches

for what..?

For new possibilities

 netfuls of happiness..

For abundance

in forms distinct and subtle..

Netting results most often

in temporary respites

calling for mending and new

casting..

Then on this day

a permanent mending

is glimpsed..

A mending for clarity

of our Self before

 casting...




What about Zebedee..?

He remained..
No complaints..for
he must have known
of permanent mending..
He knew that his sons
were now going
to the place 
the placeless place
his already home..
The home where
casting and mending
merged as one...




The Sea

had always been there
a habitual presence
bringing mending..
contemplation..
But they remained 
with small identities
enclosed by their work
of casting and mending..
The new teacher passing by
immediately accosted them:
Did you know
you are as the sea..as I am
I am..as You are..?
Yes..we must depart
immediately...
