I am a plebian when it comes to this meditation. All I can think of is the 'sport fishing' industry that catches ancient sturgeon for fun and then releases them to age a day or year more and get caught again. I say this as a fisher-human who does catch trout and eat them and more often uses barbless hooks and releases them unharmed but probably traumatized. But sturgeon! Elders of the fish world. (So I 'missed the point' of your writing. I hope that's ok.)
It's a series of meandering points by association, so there is absolutely no offense taken:) And there are initiatives in Chilliwack to track and protect the sturgeon by fishermen that I've heard of! I am not trying to paint with a broad brush, as much as muse in many directions at once...
Your writing instantly takes me out of the computer and into the world
