Another Nautical Quotes

“Sometimes the extract is not an erasure,
But an expansion.
It is not a cut, but a culmination.
Not a gash, but a growth.

Life has taken the suffix -ship, made it a verb,
Taken a sound
& given it momentum.

That's what only words can do --
Prod us toward something new
& in doing so, move us closer -> together

Perhaps our relationships are the very make of
us,
For fellowship is both our nature & our
necessity.
We are formed primarily by what we imagine.”
