Alvin, you are going to experience the entire ranges of emotion. You are a human being, and we are gifted with that. Throughout this experience, remember ALL of the positive moments. It doesn't take away the hurt, but it will help. You're a great dude. Keep on pressing for your familia, biological and fly-fishilogical. Love you dude....
Been out a few times, I was worried it would not be the same because my wife and I spent a lot of time on the water together, but it feels really good to get out there.
Gratitude is so important. The critical thing for me is just working for a greater purpose. Personally, that means that I have a gift, and that my purpose with that gift is to follow the Ten Commandments. I don't always know what they mean, but, at least it is spelled-out somewhere. Consider the flip-side, no gratitude. Well, that is how I find myself getting in a mess. I'm get dragged down by the lies told to me, to the point where I bare that false-witness, and eventually start telling my own lies. I see other's guilt, so I eventually do the same. Or, I get so worried about what I don't have that I forget to appreciate all the gifts that are around me. That is what having no purpose will do to me, and with that I've gone full-circle, gratitude is so important. I'm not trying to draw anyone's attention to morality, rather, I'm suggesting, for only a moment, to look beyond oneself. Perhaps that is like meditating? I remember my college roommate telling me about the theories of Niels Bohr. Essentially, his argument with Einstein was regarding the 'curtain,' that from a perspective of physics, on a quantum-level, the universe has a participatory nature - that we create reality. So, the obvious thing for me to do is follow purpose, as I need purpose for guidance. I can't critique my life, reality itself, any more, because watching disaster creates static, inaction. The map eventually becomes clear to no one, because we are shaped by disaster. Trauma rules sentient beings, so instead of being trauma-bound, be grateful. Navigating is like life's map itself is changing, but, you stay in the same place. It is that crazy, but, when you come back from traveling, you are a different person. If it wasn't that crazy, how could anyone ever get beyond loss without a good dose of amnesia?
Thank you for sharing! Our ears are always open!
A man among men! Not many would have the courage and self respect to share in the way you have. Thanks for being a great example
