Made me lol!! This might be one of the most profound statements I have seen when it comes to pond ownership!
All the time, effort, and money spent is pointless if all the while you're twisting your pond into your definition of appropriate, it's twisting you into something else entirely.
Tub I was just about to post the same sentiment...thus spake Yogi Tony.
I'm afraid it's neither profound, nor spiritual, boys. Bob's recent post includes the term intense management, and that's what's been on my mind lately. Basically, I'm stepping back from that philosophy, not that I was ever that intense in the first place.
I'm done with planning, worrying, scheming, and obsessing over ponds and fish. There's just so much more out there. In a totally out of character lucid moment, I once advised Bruce Condello to quit trying to improve the fish for awhile, and let the fish improve him instead. I think I like the sound of that right now.
