Passion = Truth? How Jeffrey James Francis Ircink Sees The World? I love when people are passionate about something. That surging of emotion is the one honest measure of what truth is. It's a truthful display of how a person really feels about something or someone at that particular moment. That passion IS truth.

"The Fern Pool".

My father, brother, Uncle Fran and I hunt and fish with Bruce and Dave Hranicka. Dave grew up with my Uncle Fran and has known Jas and I since we were kids. The "Hern's" are family. Our annual walleye fishing trip on the Rainbow Flowage takes place on Dave's property in Lake Tomahawk, WI. Good times, friends. Good times.

Anyway, Bruce and Jason used to shoot trap quite often in Wisconsin with a guy from Madison named Kurt Helker, who, unbenounced to me, wrote a fishing column for the magazine, Wisconsin Outdoor Journal. Bruce forwarded me Kurt's new blog, Errant Casts and Other Inkblots - and a story Kurt wrote a couple years ago called, The Fern Pool, originally published in Outdoor World Magazine (now defunct.)

It's one of the best short pieces I've read in a while. Riveting. You should read it. And you don't have to have an appreciation for fishing or the outdoors to appreciate this story.
