Vacation


I find no matter what I do or where I am, my mind resorts back to the ways of kung fu.

As I posted myself on a pontoon boat, amongst 3-5 foot waves with a fishing rod in my hands I found myself in tact with the boat but in sync with the water. Working with balance, direction of the force and all the concepts of centering, turned out to be an awesome exercise to assist (or maybe work in conjunction with) with body manipulation against the nature forces of the earth and an unknown opponent/ animal.

As goofy as it may sound, even the reeling in of a fish was a different experience for me on this trip, as I worked on reading the fish body mechanics through the line, rod and reel (weapon) and work my opponent from their actions… while only reacting on my opponents moves.

By the way, the fishing was great, at least for me! Maybe it was the oneness I had with nature!
