who am i ... ?

who am i .. who are we in His sight ? 
and who are we when it comes to matters of the heart ?

are we martians .... beer, bacon and babes ?
or are venusians ... car, carat, condo, career, club membership ?

OR 

do we seek the seemingly impossible ?

as in ...

"i wish to hold your hand ... run my hand through your sweet smelling hair 
take your hand in mine and look into your eyes 
hold you and tenderly cradle you 

to softly caress your face and gently kiss you 
if only you'd allow me to care for you ... cherish you 
and share the joys, passion and pleasures of love with you

i wish to hold you in my arms ... close to my heart 
whisper in your ear how much you mean to me
as we dance and sway to beautiful music

to fiercely love you with all that i am 
know that your heart'll never be alone 
even as i desire to make an honest woman of you


i wish to hold you close to me ... all the days of my life 
if only you'd allow me to ... love you 
know that this love is not fleeting nor impossible
not desperation nor lust
even as we go through life, hand in hand 
friend, lover, husband & wife
for i'd be proud to have everyone know that we love each other ... unreservedly"

methinks 'tis not impossible
for "... with God, everything is possible."

and " ... all things [are] possible to him that believeth."
for John 15:7 says, If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you.

.. finally, after a 5-month hiatus ...

... coupla crammed/stolen hours don't count ... got to fish the day at Tow Foo yesterday 

too many tinfoil barbs
NOT a single tilapia ... ?!?!? wot gives ... ?
no catfish either
only tinfoil barbs and pacu were biting .... barbs were making off with bait like there's no tomorrow

eldest had a go at feeling how a smallish tinfoil barb feels on light tackle
finally learnt to use a spinning set

sifu had 3 pacus and a handful of barbs
topped it off with a 5kg fish ... as broad as my torso
it spooled half his line and his PE1 jerked erratically as the fish lunged and ran repeatedly 

apart from a coupla barbs, and one huge splashy strike but no hook up using a frog popper on BC, it was 'idyllic' ... until a 1kg pacu hit the 2-6lb rod paired with a 500-sized reel loaded with 5lb braid and 14lb fluoro leader

the reel sang sweetly ... some prefer 'screamed' 
fish went left, then right, out then in, right then left then right again  
rod was bent nicely ... first time ever i had to palm the spool 
lip grip and landing net sure come in handy when handling pacu

saw surface ripples caused by a sizeable fish passing just beneath the surface ... twice 

a little like watching a sub just beneath the surface of the sea

but couldn't tell what fish it was 

we'll be back ... soon !
