Fishing

Dive in
plunge toward the dark stillness
losing track of time
grounded on the ocean floor
caught and released

When we are at peace, fishing feels like meditation and meditation feels like fishing. Fishing becomes a metaphor for seeking, waiting, and receiving, and meditation, in its deepest form, mirrors that same act of “fishing” for the divine.
