Fishing in Bad Weather (Audio)

Standard

Energy

No focus, scattered, diffused

Where is the center now

Black marks on white

Symbols like bait dangled

Over the choppy grey waters of me

Hoping to coax a bite

Enticing emotion to rise and strike

Latch on to a word a sentence

That I may draw out of the inky black depths

Meaning, to measure on my scale

Perhaps even consume, be nourished by

Seeking some order, some way, a new step

But if no order perhaps I may hook

A plank, a stone to feel under my feet

I need to move from this place

  2. That one was pretty straight forward. Can you be nourished by something you draw out of that inky blackness if you consume it? Or is it better to catch and release and let it slither off like the scapegoat on Yom Kippur? (Not that goats slither, that is…) Have you ever read “Can You Drink the Cup?” by Henri Nouwen?

    • Yes sir. I just have to drink the cup that is offered day to day. Like the weather they change. Sad will give way to the glad and will return again in time. Do you fish? I was thinking of how I have fished at times in bad weather knowing I would not catch anything and how it was like that last night trying to write.. Thank you for stopping by. It means alot to me that a thoughtful and talented man like yourself would read and comment on my scribbling.

      • Ive only attempted to fish once…I did not like that much silence with my thoughts. Maybe I will try again because it was refreshing. I appreciate your scribbles and your compliments. You know its hard for me to force writing so my ambitious two post a day comes very hard when I cant find what to say.
