Sometimes it's not about Fishing ar all - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Thanks for sharing your powerful sentiments.

We forget that most of the BS and evil in the world are man-made; in how somebody treats another person or how one perceives ourselves to be treated.

In nature, the basic instincts kick-in, and we are again in the proper scheme of things in the world. Our predatory instincts make us fish, and if we get skunked... well, consider it just a practice session to make us more successful.

Spiritually, it is like what Chief Standing Bear of the Ponca nation once said:

" Man's heart away from nature becomes hard."

Like my neighbor who asked why I did not go to church. I had to explain to him that I did not need a building to talk to God. I did it every time I went out on the water that God created or went to the mountains or desert.

The outdoors and sports that put you closest to them without a doubt can have an amazing impact on emotion and mental health. This is one of the reasons that HOW has done so well in helping many cope and heal from issues they have faced and returned home with while serving our country.

I urge all BWE members to become a member of HOW. Your 25.00 donation could make a huge impact on somebodys life.

Thank you all for the kindered replies

One thing I learned from my Father about being a Real Man growing up was to never be afraid to express what I carry in my Heart.

I am further blessed to be a Solid 1/4th Mohawk Indian... my Love and Kinship to Nature is very Strong and runs Very Deeply inside of me

“I really don't know why it is that all of us are so committed to the sea, except I think it is because in addition to the fact that the sea changes and the light changes, and ships change, it is because we all came from the sea. And it is an interesting biological fact that all of us have in our veins the exact same percentage of salt in our blood that exists in the ocean, and, therefore, we have salt in our blood, in our sweat, in our tears. We are tied to the ocean. And when we go back to the sea, whether it is to sail or to watch it we are going back from whence we came.” -unknown sailor

Thoughtful post, I am with you on that.

I've seen the Chumash guys paddling around in their canoes at Leo Carillo. I am sure that they have a special connection as well.
