There is a science and an art to the stroke of the fly fisherman's cast. The goal is to imitate both the randomness and consistency of the prey. As humans, our clumsy cast can fly far astray or be so meager that it will net very little. There in lies the struggle we set for ourselves to find the inbetween to imitate the art of nature, the art of God.
As we move along this journey, some things do come easier. But maybe they don't. Maybe we just learn to let the line ride the wind or be weighted by the current. There is always the unexpected in the fervor and concentration of doing it right. Preparation and asking questions leads to further wisdom. You just have to keep asking.
