Quietly

 Was a quiet beginning to the day here. Cool and sunny. Even the surf was quiet. There were 3 older couples walking/fishing up at the point. That was nice to see. Each couple was decked out in their preferred gear. It was kinda interesting to note the equipment choices and teamwork that each couple used. They all had fanny packs with extra tackle and wind breakers of various design. All had graphite rods. Penn Reels were in majority though 1 couple did have Shimano Reels (I'm a diehard Penn man). Each couple was using their preferred lure and working in tandem, walking along, canvassing the beach. One couple had silver spoons (Crocodile), one couple was throwing surface plugs (Zara Spook), and the other couple was throwing swimmers (Mirrorlure). It was interesting to see the way each couple worked together. You could tell that all of them had been together as partners and fisherman for a long time. Simple things like casting in compliment to one another's placement. Working areas without even saying anything to each other about fishing. Switching position automatically when one had a fish on. Lot of small things that added up to 3 very close knit partnerships. I was envious of what they had. I have never had that sort of relationship. Of course, up until the last half a dozen years I wasn't fit to have one, or wouldn't have noticed all those things as relationship based.
Sometimes I think about all the relationships I squandered and chances I squandered. I wonder if I have used up my chances at the kind of relationship I seek. I certainly had it in my hands enough times and let it go. But at least now I see it, recognize the beauty of it. Before I never noticed or cared. So at least I have made progress towards what I seek. I just have to be ready and stay hopeful that it will come along[image[image]
