Contrast of Emotions

We've all heard the expression, "a picture paints a thousand words" and the two pictures below do just that.

Anxiety and stress is evident on Jack's face as a team of helpers work to move him in his wheelchair onto the boat for a day of fishing.

Emotions run a full spectrum as fears are faced head-on, surrendering fully to the abilities of others for help in boarding the boat.

Listen closely, you can almost hear the words ...

And I'm free, free fallin'
Yeah I'm free, free fallin'
(Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers)

In so many ways, Fishing Has No Boundaries opens doors to our emotions and, while the outing has personal merits for each of us, empowering us by overcoming fears, we collectively grow in mind and spirit with the realization "boundaries" can be ... and are ... conquered.
