Standing In A River Searching For The Truth

I'm not quite sure what it is about standing in a flowing river trying to catch a fish, but to me that experience is a spiritual one. The word "truth" is described as: Conformity to fact or reality; exact accordance with that which is, or has been; or shall be. That is precisely what I search for when I'm standing in a river attempting to entice a fish to bite my offering. And for some strange reason, the answers are more readily available then than at any other time. I've come to the conclusion that nature probably plays a greater role in this drama than the fishing, but who's to say for sure? I know I don't put my waders on and just go out and stand in the middle of a river in order to be in nature, I can take a walk for that. So the fishing must have something to do with it. Nature is no doubt an integral part of this process. I think Emerson said it best, when he said, " Adopt the pace of nature: her secret is patience." According to Emerson, nature's secret is patience, and in my opinion it's probably no coincidence that an angler's secret is patience as well.

So I spend much of my time, as much as I can as a matter of fact, doing exactly what this article is titled. I stand in a river and mentally search for the truth. I usually manage to catch some beautiful trout as well, which is obviously all in order.

I suppose the biggest question for many people would probably be something along the lines of……..So have you found the truth that you were looking for? I would have to say no, because what I've realized is that it's not about finding the truth or catching a trout for that matter. It's about the act of searching, and I personally hope that I never find it.
