“Safety Net
by Rosemerry Wahtola Trommer
This morning I woke
thinking of all the people I love and all the people they love and how big the net of lovers. It felt so clear, all those invisible ties interwoven like silken threads strong enough to make a mesh that for thousands of years has been woven and rewoven to catch us all.
Sometimes we go on as if we forget about it. Believing only in the fall. But the net is just as real. Every day, with every small kindness, with every generous act, we strengthen it. Notice, even now, how as the whole world seems to be falling, it is there for us as we walk the day’s tightrope, how every tie matters.”
