:49:06
but we can still love them.
:49:10
We can love completely...
:49:12
without complete understanding.
:49:54
Now nearly all those I loved and did
not understand in my youth are dead.
:49:58
Even Jessie.
:50:01
But I still reach out to them.
:50:15
Of course, now I'm too old
to be much of a fisherman.
:50:18
And now I usually fish
the big waters alone...
:50:22
although some friends
think I shouldn't.
:50:32
But when I am alone
in the half-light of the canyon...
:50:36
all existence seems to fade to a being
with my soul and memories...
:50:41
and the sounds of the Big Blackfoot
River and a four-count rhythm...
:50:45
and the hope that a fish will rise.
