Living on the water has its benefits. Daily reminders to pay
attention to what lies below the surface of things occur sometimes hourly as
mullets jump, schools of fish shimmer their scales in the sun, and dolphin fins
pop up like toast.
Every person we walk by, sit beside, work or live with is the
same: a depth of memories and emotions that shimmer and pop up unannounced
looking for nourishment or company. Or a breath of fresh air.
Search below the surface of a familiar face today. What don't you
know about them? What assumptions may prove false? Enrich your life with a deep
conversation. Put a tantalizing bait on the tip of your tongue, throw out a
question into the depths of a friend or co-worker, and wait with calm
compassion to see if you catch anything.
There's a lot of good soul out there today. Some need to be
caught. Even only for a moment. Some moments last a lifetime and change
you forever. Feel like fishing today? See a shimmer in someone?
