I was thinking about some anomalies in the time space and rain continuum. A while ago i was listening to radio and saw some news reports about the faith like potato dude praying and then the rain fell. And over the years there have been many different rain making ceremonies and festivals, from leaving brooms above the front door to many other historically more perverse and brutal options....
But something that has proved to be a winner in my case would be the fishing word .. can say it now because A decided that i should go fishing on sunday .. and for a change it wasnt even me who prompted or even said the word .. and what an untimely and insane cold front is on its way across the country .. bringing rain for the whole of this week up to and past next weekend .. so maybe a thought of fishing brings rain but a proxy thought of rain is even worse?
it may be coincidence, but it does seem to be better to just pretend to not want to go and then go at the last minute then u might be guaranteed for it not to rain of have the wind blow us away. this could be considered as the bain of the flyfisherman.. but on a more obtuse note .. us as humans read a lot of sense into coincidence and make meaning out of the patterns in our lives without realization of the randomness of events. I may of course be totally wrong and things may be driven by some higher power or by some form of divine intervention, my bad for not accepting it i suppose? can we pray for rain?
if enough of us have the state of mind to change soemthing will it change? if we believe hard enough and enough of us believe will we grow fangs? i know not what the future holds?
maybe we are bound by my cynicism and others like me, who without the world would be a different place with faeries and dinosaurs roaming our back gardens or the space between our minds and the world we live in?
something on a different note completely? I was speaking to pastor aquaintance of ours on religious matters .. yes i was dont be so surprised? these things happen and he descrived a metaphor for me that was facsinating to the nth degree, he said he likened the faith, or belief in a god or a higher being and a bible to a bucket... how could you explain to someone about what you believe if you have a bucket full of water from an amazing river, I suppose the same goes for flyfishing? and many other things .. how can a fly sitting on a tbale at my desk even come close to the experience of flyfishing other than to those who know the truth? what is the truth .. what can a book translate to us about the truth of a situation? i suppose that is what makes good authors who can translate the living into words.. not to be confused with the living word.. now that is something completely different?
I sometimes wonder a lot as i am sure you have noticed about a lot of trivial and unimportant things that go on in the world around me. having noticed the interactions between people in a closed environment .. wierd is ll i can say..
But is suppose the relevance of our lives are only in context to those around us? or do they ahve inherrent value of their own? Now that is somewhat of an eclectic and non sensical statement to make? but i made it? it a likens to something in the vain of does a falling tree make a sound in a forrest if no one witnesses the demise and fall of the tree? we may see it days, months or years later.. the tree fell we see the tree, we know it happened? but did it happen, we never experienced it? similarly the sound of one hand clapping? who knows? do goldfish sleep?
Does it really matter?
how complex the web we weave, the web woven around this mortal coil of life, something so essentially simple yet infinitely complex. size and nature of life and its complex weave we cannot understand, the simplicity of the blue sky, the depths of our minds and the woven paths?
what crap..
oh yes tomorrow we view my view on GT through my modern day box brownie .. or rather my nokia 5000 1 mega pixel camera?
enough rambling for now, more later on in the week
