One of the more pleasant aspects of fly-fishing is the quiet—the quiet of the mind that comes from being outdoors.
The beauty lies in letting the fly-fishing adventure take you to a place where you can enjoy the stillness and the silence of nature.
“The quieter you become, the more you hear.” — Ram Dass
Fly-fishing gives me the opportunity to hear. I quiet my mind, silence the extraneous thoughts, and focus on the task at hand. I pause and hear the music in the mountain streams.
Even now, as I sit at my desk, I hear the music and the silence.
Tom, another gem. Thanks for sharing that picture and the post. I am hanging on by my fingernails until I can get back out on the water.
