Catch and Release a metaphor of who we are and what we do Salmon Fishing in the Yemen Catch is catching life — the stuff that makes us shrivel up tight as a ball or slings us into the stars. It’s adventure, beauty and being alive. It’s loving with our eyes open. Release is releasing ourself to our larger self — falling into the inside us — making a doorway, creating a pathway — for the quiet and the still, the light and the life. It’s loving with our eyes closed. When we want to visit with the inside us, we do release. When we want to say hello to whatever is out there, we do catch . . . . The feeling of Catch & Release is a familiar feeling, being with friends, a feeling we know . . . Sketch by Maurice Sendak A fire from someplace somewhere is burning; my heart is responding to things I do not see or feel . . . This is how the love (that's us) is present in self, Soul, Self and every aspect of who we are -- we breathe in what we are (diffeent for different folks) and breathe out what we become. Being fully present is being able to look at ourselves from every direction without being barred by any energy, any fear.
