The waiting game ...

I had to share this picture from 2009. I recently shared a post about fishing in the Mediterranean. This was taken on one of many visits to Tel Aviv. It was cooler weather for Israel, but he was waiting patiently.

A friend sent me a link to a moving song by Parson James from The Temple EP. It’s called ‘Waiting Game’, and this picture captures the spirit of that song. It starts like this:

I’ve been fishing and can’t catch a bite; I’ve been Praying, ain’t seen that light; I’ve been searching, high to the low; I’ve been working, working, working; myself to the bone.

I’m not a patient person. I am about to turn 60 this year, and I am still struggle with this. My skin does start to crawl sometimes! I’m learning, but would do well to remember the patience of the fisherman in this photo.

Simpler times .. and relationships

I love black and white photography. Simple, pure ... timeless. Maybe it’s just me, but when I look at this picture, my mind goes back to my childhood and simple times. We didn’t have smart phones, big TV’s and endless content to view. We enjoyed the outdoors and games with neighborhood friends. Life was all about relationships with people, and the joy that connection brought us. Times change, the need for connection should be endless.
