Finning
Brown Trout
James Prosek
On these spring afternoons, when I
stand in this spot, I try to forget my worries as much as possible, and
for a while,
when the fish are rising,
it seems that I exist outside time, although in the midst of all this,
I
will have a memory of
some kind, a bit of
piercing intimacy. It is not that I am peaceful at this moment so much
as comfortably alive and
excited, although I feel
something like humility too. I am alone, but not lonely at all.
