Powerful observations, Tom. Although, I am ill adapted by be a stoic, the importance of fly fishing as a metaphor for calming one's mind and finding meaning in the environment that we find ourselves in for this passion, is a microcosm of life itself. Thank you for this insightful piece.
i think every dedicated fly fisherman must be part philosopher...if only to makes sense of so much time in the wild with nothing physical to show for it 😉😂

For certain. Some times more than others... 😉
Tom, I love all your stuff and you as well…this is a really great one.
Thanks, the feeling is mutual my good friend
I have been a long time fan of Ryan and stoism and a fly fisherman. This is brilliant. Thank you so much I love this!
Glad you like it and thanks for the kind words. Holiday has made stoicism very accessible. Connecting the two wasn't hard.
Thank you. This helped me today.
Good to hear.
