Gently Down The Stream
The older you get, the more and more fishing trips become less and less about catching fish.
Norman Maclean wrote in A River Runs Through It, “One of life’s quiet excitements is to stand somewhat apart from yourself and watch yourself softly becoming the author of something beautiful…”
I had the opportunity to float twelve miles of the North Platte River today. I entered the stream with the quote above and wrestled with it for all twelve miles.
Life is but a dream.
Author something beautiful with it.
Commas > Periods
Something worked yesterday, something different works today, and something else will work tomorrow.
Today, we rejoice in commas.
In the end the worthy goal isn’t to one day blow out your candle in some form of case closed, definite conclusion.
Rather, our hope lies in these little lights that we all have to let shine and in their capability to light the way for another or reignite one’s wick that has gone dim.
Collectively, we can all help each other to see a little bit better and get us on the other side of another comma.
Flames are contagious.
