The Rules of the Catch: Wisdom from a Day of Fishing

The Rules of the Catch: Wisdom from a Day of Fishing

Cover image description
Enjoying a peaceful day of fishing.

Wherever we go, the water spreads its silent web of mystery. Nets hang like threads between sky and sea, catching not only fish but also fragments of our lives. We think we are casting the net, yet sometimes it feels as though the system casts it over us—its mesh heavy with burdens, its knots woven from culture, history, and expectation. By the shore of Shkumbini, with the sun on my back and salt on my skin, I felt both hunter and caught. The net for my feet is not only in the water; it’s also in the patterns of life. This day of fishing became a mirror, a lesson, and a story I will now throw online, like a catch into the digital sea, for others to find.

Fishing at the Shkumbini spill.

Cast Into the Current

Discipline and respect for tradition guide every step in a fisherman’s life. Ignoring the wisdom passed down through generations can bring misfortune: failed catches, illness, or wasted effort. Long ago, the seers and prophets of our land warned that neglecting these teachings would lead to hardship, yet their words were often ignored. Even today, the call is clear: honor the methods, respect the waters, and live in harmony with nature. Turn away from greed and thoughtless action. Let the fishermen rise early, heed the rhythms of the rivers and seas, and act with care and patience. Cast aside past mistakes and cultivate a new heart and spirit in your work. In following these lessons—written in the “book of aquaculture,” if you will—success will return, and the waters will yield their bounty. Remember, fishing is not just a craft; it is a practice of discipline, respect, and renewal.

Ready to honor what has been divinely taught and to act with obedience. These are the commandments, the rules, and the personal customs—guidelines you are called to learn and apply in your fishing. Keep these norms close, so you do not forget the basics. Follow the commandments, decisions, and processes I share today. Through this silent writing, I speak these words: these are the distinctions given by our ancestors, who adopted the plan, followed the rules, and listened to guidance. Learn them carefully, apply them wisely. I speak as one sent by my forefathers, a fisherman from the day my father first set out until this day. I have sent my men forth—workers rising early every weekend to fish—learning through practice, correction, and discipline. Discipline may not always bring immediate joy; often it brings grief. But in time, it yields the peaceable fruit of skill and wisdom to those who embrace it. Better to endure hardship than to ignore the rules of fishing. Respect what is right, learn from it, and let it guide your hands and heart.

Do Not Brake When the Fire Rises

Do Not Brake When the Fire Rises Engines cast aside, the call rises— summon the racers, summon the exiles. They return from Arbëria, roaring motorcycles, holy rebellion echoing across the land. But condemnation falls: those carved gain no wisdom, those who pray for false bonds find no escape. They limp in circles around their own track, cast in iron machines, ashamed. Proclaim it—raise the signal! The music is conquered, the racing disgraced, the track trembling before its idols. Tirana itself quakes before them. I, warned of two motorcycles, drag them from the ruins without rest. The industry may be a beast, but the garage bears no guilt. Stay away from races, from tracks, from false baptisms— for music still lives. The day comes when rebellions are judged, events held to account, torn apart and hurled to the ground. The audience mourns, my rappers rejoice in glory, ye...

Bold Lines and Open Roads: Why Music Needs Discipline, Not Just Noise

Bold Lines and Open Roads: Why Music Needs Discipline, Not Just Noise Good music has been discarded. Lyrics that should lift and heal now spread harm and deceit; many rappers offer nothing honest, only hollow bravado. Their voices are open graves, their tongues sweet with flattering lies. They trade compliments while hiding double faces, and the craft of true judgment and artistic care has been abandoned. Audiences are distracted and inattentive, mistaking noise for wisdom. Too often, talent leans toward clever cruelty instead of making songs that mean something. They have turned their faces from discipline, the first step toward knowledge. Wisdom is treated with contempt, correction with scorn. Those willing to be taught are rare; most reject rebuke and walk away. Music itself is flung aside, and true rappers who call for return are silenced. What remains is contempt made audible: brittle verses, empty boasts, and...
