Big Sky, Fish Biting

“You can never have too much sky . You can fall asleep and wake up drunk on sky, and sky can keep you safe when you are sad. Here there is too much sadness and not enough sky. Butterflies too are few and so are flowers and most things that are beautiful. Still, we take what we can get and make the best of it.”― Sandra Cisneros

“Many of us would probably be better fishermen if we did not spend so much time watching and waiting for the world to become perfect.”― Norman Maclean, A River Runs Through It and Other Stories

Move imperfectly.
Try, take action, a few steps.
Then a few more.
See where they lead.
No precise map but a sense of direction, consistency, momentum.
Wander and wonder.
Off autopilot.
Break stasis.
Invite awe.
Cast your line.
Catch some fish.
Big sky.
The fish are biting.

“Close the gap between yourself and your spirit–the person you know you can be. Let your choices reflect the person you want to become, not just the person you think you are.”― Maggie Smith, Keep Moving: Notes on Loss, Creativity, and Change
