Turning and turning in the widening gyre The falcon cannot hear the falconer; Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold; Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world, The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere The ceremony of innocence is drowned; The best lack all conviction, while the worst Are full of passionate intensity.
Surely some revelation is at hand; Surely the Second Coming is at hand
WB Yeats
The second coming
I was looking for the will of the wild… The only thing I had to hold on to was the knife-sharp necessity to trust to the elements my elemental self.
I wanted to live at the edge of the imperative, in the tender fury of the reckless moment, for in this brief and pointillist life, bright-dark and electric, I could do nothing else.
The human spirit has a primal allegiance to wildness, to really live, to snatch the fruit and suck it, to spill the juice. We may think we are domesticated but we are not.
Jay Griffiths
“The primary use of ‘misinformation’ is not to change the beliefs of other people at all. Instead, the vast majority of misinformation is offered as a service for people to maintain their beliefs in the face of overwhelming evidence to the contrary.”
Micheal Caulfield.
“I never thought I’d become a fishing writer,” John Gierach told me during an interview in 2006. I cannot imagine this sport—or this world—had he not. John died yesterday morning of a heart attack. I have many thoughts, but neither the will nor the inclination to share them right now. There’ll be time for that. But felt you all deserved to know. He represented the very best of what flyfishing is. R.I.P. my friend.
