RE: Sunday Musings: Memories of Fishing with my Dad
I'm glad you have some good memories of your dad. One of my grandfathers was a very quiet man. I loved fishing with him as a kid. We didn't talk much. We just sat at a good spot along the river and fished with minnows on a bobber. We could spend all day doing that and I think we both were happy.
I find that just "being quiet with someone" can be a peaceful and "connective" thing to do. In a similar way, I had a great aunt who indirectly taught me meditation as a pre-teen... she called it "sitting and seeing."
That's nice you had a great aunt like that. My grandfather never would have talked about it that way, lol. I still like fishing that way, by myself. Just sit and see, that's what it is, alright!
