Solomon was often asked about his success as a fisherman. Invariably his reply was enigmatic. “Just instinct,” he'd say with a wry smile.
FROM A LIFE...A COLLECTION OF IMAGES IN PROSE, PAINT AND PHOTOGRAPHS.
Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving
safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out and yelling joyously .... "WOOO HOOO what a ride!"
"Instinct" is the most frequent path I've taken with my life.
ReplyDeleteSome success, some not so. And NO regrets either way.
Tessa, the picture of the fisherman shows contentment...and we all want that, I think..
Have a great weekend!
