"Many men go fishing all of their lives
without knowing that
it is not fish
that they are after."
Henry David Thoreau

To spend one's whole lifetime
waiting for life to come to us...
thinking that if we just
quiet our minds we will find peace...

waiting for life to make us happy...
could there be a greater waste?

That is not to say that serenity and peace
are not found in fishing.

The beginning in our search
is in the quieting of the mind. 
That is just the beginning though.

As we quiet our minds
our answers will come. 

Listen to the answers. 
Sit still.
Yes, Listen.
Surrender
Lean into life
rather than fight against it.

We will know what right action steps
are to be taken,
for happiness and peace.
Pay attention.
Discovery, meaning, awareness.
