Word to the Wise: Maelstrom

By ETR

A "maelstrom" (MAYL-strum) – from the Dutch for "to whirl round" – is a powerful or destructive whirlpool.

Example (as used by Farley Mowat in The Farfarers): "The murk became thicker as Zachareesi fishtailed his canoe through a swirling maelstrom of currents pouring past, and over, unseen rocks."

Testimonials

It was a nudge into looking at life in a fresh way

“I recently read Michael Masterson’s article on golfing with his son. The message became very important because it was a nudge into looking at life in a fresh way. It is really amazing how routine we are. I keep a notebook now. Every day, I pluck out some incident to write about. It’s great. Thanks for the nudge Michael.”
