When they go fishing, it is not really fish they are after. It is a philosophic meditation.

Good day all. Hoping this finds you in good stead. Have been asked to cover today for our thoughtful and fun Anja, as she is mourning the loss of a loved one. Good wishes her way.

Our greatest pretenses are built up not to hide the evil and the ugly in us, but our emptiness. The hardest thing to hide is something that is not there.

Beautiful essay to start the day, QMS,
thank you.
Fishing, primal, being one with nature.
Great photo.
May today's casts be true.

found it in the impressionist section of

Good morning QMS. Thanks for being there to pick up the
slack today. Really liked the Dylan, btw, somehow fits my mood today. Heh, tons to do and no ambition, a day to just mosey along.
Have a good one.
