“And connected I had been. When the fish changed directions, I felt it. when it slowed or sped up, I felt that too. It's such a raw thing, this shared existence with a piece of bucking biomass.” FeltExistencePiecesSeaChangedRiversFishesConnectedBoatLakesFishingSpedBiomass Author:Jessica Maxwell
“Fish in the water represent pure potential. If the water is not clear, we do not know if they exist at all. To get them to bite something connected to a line and pull them into our world is managing a birth that brings these creatures from the realm of mysytery into the world of reality. It is a kind of creation.” IfsKnowsWorldKindRealityWaterLinesClearSeaCreationBirthPureCreaturesRiversFishesConnectedBoatRealmsLakesFishingOur WorldBites Author:Howell Raines

“People always seek to compare. They can take the new, but only if it is somehow connected to the familiar. We need that in our lives, the mix of the new and the old.
