Nolo Contendere

 

The clouds are much higher today.  I mean it, they look really far away.  Other things are different as well, but it is the clouds that grabbed my attention.

I imagine my friend is sitting on his boat right now, staring at his fishing line as it disappears into the dark water.  As he waits patiently for a nibble, I try to comprehend why the clouds look so drastically high.

I expect the reflection of the clouds shows up on the surface of the lake, adding to his inability to catch any glimpse of passing fish.

He is bound to catch a fish long before I can ever comprehend the cloud height.  Then again, he is using bait, while I have only my wits.  It’s hardly fair.
