“You [demagogues] are like the fishers for eels; in still waters they catch nothing, but if they thoroughly stir up the slime, their fishing is good; in the same way it’s only in troublous times that you line your pockets.”
Aristophanes
“As no man is born an artist,
so no man is born an angler.”
Izaak Walton
(great blue heron out fishing, Santa Rosa Beach / Julie Cook / 2016)
Casting nets…
day in,
day out…
What will be pulled up…
What will be thrown back?
Who will be saved?
Who will be cast aside?
Throw the nets wide,
making certain they go deep
We all fish for something
The question remains…
what are you fishing for?
When He had finished speaking, He said to Simon,
“Put out into the deep water and let down your nets for a catch.”
Luke 5:4
