 ©Henk Geertman Threw his rod a thousand times Infinitely patient Contentedly going home at night After catching nothing....again Like scattered leaves...my words will flow [This message has been edited by Titia Geertman (11-16-2002 08:20 PM).] |

Just throwing his [fishing] weight around, and I imagine, enjoying the peace of all that God laid out before him... Very nice, Titia, very nice.... |

Sometimes the goal isn't to catch the fish, but to let the fish and the peaceful surroundings catch our senses... Very lovely, Titia... Did your husband do that painting?  ~ loving chipmunk hugsLyra |

Sunshine, so true your words. Lyra, there always will be the thrill of catching, but enjoying the quiet and peace is inevitable. Janet Marie, your brother and I should fish together some time. The painting is made by my husband, who is an artist too, though he doesn't think so himself.

Titia, I love to fish, too. I like the poem and the picure that your husband painted, too. He is an artist. How's your Mom doing? "Love makes the world go around" |

What a wonderfully talented family and what a terrific collaboration. I just love it when two people work so well together. Sometimes it's not in the catching, but the relaxing and being alone with nature that makes fishing all worth while. Huggles to you my friend, Marti |

 (smiles) Oh Titia, I just love this, sweet friend, I believe that is the way every fisherman should feel, to become one with the simplistic beauty, the serenity, and breathe it all deep in ones lungs till you feel nothing but the humility! (kiss on cheek) This is gorgeous, sweet friend, I love it, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Titia, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..." |

Smartchick, LOL when I'm fishing on salmons I want to catch them all, but when I fish in the creeks, I just catch nature. SimplyGold, thanks Garysgirl, I think he's an artist too and Mommy Muys is doing ok. Nan, thanks, I just got this idea of making little poems to his drawings, who knows, the birth of another booklet. Marti, LOL we fight a lot too you know  Marge dear lady, there are more to come! and 'aquarelle' is a beautiful word indeed. Noah, I try to breath in the fresh air in between my cigarettes  Earth Angel, thank you dear friend. Like scattered leaves...my words will flow |
