"The charm of fishing is that is is the pursuit of what is elusive but attainable,
a perpetual series of occasions for hope,"
He goes on to write, "Without hope there is nothing."
In this case hope is so very precious that we must not, can not, lose it.
Not in any stage of life....
I also Love fishing ! Many hours of feeling the strings pressure of the pole lying across the finger giving many hours of relaxing time watching the string float or a bobbin Bob up and down until it disappears or a hard tug letting you know that you have caught a wonderful catch, if you are hungry or just the pleasure of the catch and release. Life is like a Tug on that string line allowing us to make a life chose that may fulfill a future goal we have in mind or a chose for things to stay the same. What would your chose be?

ReplyDeleteNothing ever stays the same around us. If we choose to remain the same the world will go on without us. That is why I choose hope when at all possible. As was said, "without hope there is nothing."
