Fishing
Music: Don't think twice (it's alright)-Bob Dylan
I want to learn fishing. Not now, not necessarily soon. But sometime. I want to sit on a jetty with a friend. Someone who is comfortable with silences. Someone who is comfortable away from noisy discos and clubs. Someone who is comfortable with nature and above all someone who is comfortable with idling. I want to spend a week there on that jetty from early morning to sleeping time. And think about stuff… about hopes and fears and strengths and weaknesses, about successes and failures, about fun and romance and love and marriage, about friends and parents and career and success and pressures, about religion and the possibility of life on other planets, about ethics and temptations, about overcoming demons that reside within, about growing up and coming to terms with oneself, about change, about our quest to find ourselves and to find meaning, about the shapes of clouds and about the differences between fruits and vegetables, about favourite movies and books, about colours and what they signify and the most creative insight we ever had, about hobbies and special moments, about sand and sea, about fishing and cooking fish, about vegetarianism and ecology and what being an Indian means, about our families and how backgrounds influence us. I want to talk about tonnes of stuff.

since i started looking back over your blog (having recently connected when you gave me help with mine-)i've been enjoying your thoughts and a post from last month has been with me for the last few days. it was the wondering about "firsts" and the special place they hold. i contemplated that throughtout the day and having reached twice your age i want to share that each experience now is, in some respects, still a "first" simply because the me that evolves each moment holds a new or changed perspective from the past. as i age and really come to accept me each experience is full and incredible ..first time or the thousandth. thanks for helping me remember this. as for the desire to spend time in nature and ponder lifes mysteries while fishing...i am moved to think of our different cultures, ages, and even sex yet we share as humans this desire. i have a small cabin on a lake in the woods of wisconsin and if your ever in the neighborhood i have an extra fishing pole.
I am planning to go to a country site nearby.. hope to get some peace.
Yeah... I'd surely love to have your company... who knows one day we bump into each other.
