Poem: "The Net" by Andrew Rudd

From my scattering

I am gathered in.

From my grasping

I have let go.

From my anxiety

I am held

secure

as a swaddled child.

What I hold

holds me.

What I touch

touches me.

What I love

loves me.

Captured, enmeshed,

I am free.

That is the way it is when I am wise and allow God to hold me in God's hands - but sometimes I'm not so wise. That is a very insightful poem. Thank you.
