“We are souls with bodies, not the other way around. Without the essence of who we are—intact and authentically within our vessels—we are unblinking, inanimate objects; we are no longer soil. . . we are dirt.”

“I’ve learned a lot in this year. I’ve learned that the way to get your soul back isn’t to chase it but rather to quietly wait for it. When you’re ready, it finds you.”

“Life is a circle, not a line. Circles describe nature from a bird’s nest to raindrops striking a pond. I’d like my life to be round, like that. I’d like my life to be natural.”

“In the big scheme of things, fly-fishing has no importance at all, and neither does anything else from grilling burgers to brain surgery. After all, in time we all get hungry again, and in the long run the patient eventually dies, even if just from old age. Everything in life is a delaying action. It’s all just something to do while our atoms unravel. So, if I have my choice, and these days I do, I’d rather go fishing than almost anything else.”

“I stood there, without even casting and with no trout rising, and as the water rushed past me, I knew it was washing my burdens behind me, swirling them downstream like the autumn leaves.”

“Words are my petroglyphs. I scratch them out on a more or less durable rock. I paint them in colors wrung from nature like squeezing out my dreams and finger-tip painting on my limestone-self. They reflect and sustain my most noble nature. They are my tapping on the prison wall.”

“There are important lessons we can learn from solitude and silence. No one has ever learned a thing while talking. There are lessons about what does and does not matter. There are lessons to be learned about living authentically in the moment, and about impermanence and the power of our choices. Listening without expectation, is how I grow.”
~ Steve Ramirez, from The Silent Act of Knowing”
