Lainesblog Thinking Out Loud

I'm going to learn to fish!

Not like the patient and swift Egret, or the people who go out to sea,

no matter the weather.

No, more like the folks standing on the shore patiently casting and reeling in.

But, I never could stomach putting a live worm on a hook

or removing the hook from a struggling fish,

and the thought of killing a living thing – sure a mosquito- but a beautiful fish?

No, better that I plant some winter greens and then harvest from the earth in my own backyard.

Yes, that sounds more probable.

Yes.
