Peace and Tenkara - “Sharing the Magic of Tenkara”

The following is a new guest post from Brian Lindsay. Pretty awesome stuff and I know you will enjoy it since I know I enjoyed reading it.

Never have I seen such a thing as sharing Tenkara… It seems to have a magical quality about it.

Brian, what do you mean Magic?

Well….

Now keep in mind I am a practical person leaning towards requiring technical proof on almost any subject. I personally believe that what I can see and feel is real. Everything else has to still prove itself.

During the last year in my travels I have experienced an interesting change in my own life experience. I have seen this mirrored in others. The sharing of the magic by others was unexpected, but the result of this kindness has formed for me a new outlook on life.

I believe in paradigm shifts. I can sense a shift in the world of fishing. This shift is Tenkara…. It’s not only a physical shift, but a spiritual one.

The shift is also very practical from a fishing standpoint.

Daniel Galhardo talking it up

We will see a change now in how people fish, what they fish for, and the number of fish they catch. A lot of these fish were not previously caught through other methods of fishing.

We will also see amateur and professional fishermen alike enjoying the same level of pleasure from their fishing experience.

A lot of people may come along marketing their products and forget the Magic of Tenkara. May the Universe cleanse their souls, and may they return to the peaceful place that Tenkara had brought them to.

Peace and Tenkara…

and the result is…

Peace and Fishing…
