In the eyes of many people, a trout is just a trout. An undervalued life form which motivates little inspiration in most humans daily life. Peering into crystal clear water, the untrained eyes sees everything I do, except what I do. We see the cascading water flowing over ages old stone, bordered by tall pine and collosal boulders. Watching all the character the stream(or lake) has to offer through the rays of the sun unto crystal clear mystery. Liquid refractions illuminating an intriguing world underneath the surface tension.

Everyone's perspective is completely different when analyzing the same beautiful landscape that a trout inhabits, though nobody thinks of a trout as any more important than an ant on a twig, or snow in a shady depression. Under gifted eyes of those who pierces illusion of water tension , and looks at what's underneath, there's something even more beautiful to be found. Any trout, as magnificent and special as they all are, each emulate diverse traits even greater than the environments they live in. Displaying purity, grace, and luster through their small scales, the trout is a symbol of persistence to stay "illuminated" in an ever changing world. The great deity I look down onto when looking up deems unsuccessful.

I find great truth in my observations into the trouts world. Learning from them every day, and using these lessons to make my world equally "illuminated" in vision and persistence to proceed for more. So much hope out there to explore, will we take the time to search for it?
