The Fisherman’s Why?  

 

 

 

  

Oh Wise One: What is it about this quiet place that calls me?

 

“Many things and nothing fight for dominance of our life 
and we must come.” 

 

    

Oh Wise One: Is it the fish and the hunt that bring me here?

 

“The hunt is the universal challenge of life; 

it is the history of evolution.” 

 

 

Oh Wise One: Is it a need to return to my roots?

 

“We must return to our roots 

to see who we are.” 

 

 

Oh Wise One: Is it the quiet of the waters that I need to sooth my soul?

 

“Water is the universal requirement for all life 

and is, in essence, our soul.” 

 

 

  Oh Wise One: Is it the solitude that lets me see myself?

 

“Although we live amongst many, 

we are alone except for God.”   q
