Why can't a duffer like me catch a fish? Isn't the answer obvious? Isn't it because at my present level of skill the fish would have to be so damned dumb and utterly unelusive as to not be worth catching? And how much more elusive should a thing as wondrous as a soul be? Fishermen should be the easiest of men to convince to search for their souls, because fishing is nothing but the pursuit of the elusive. How can you be so patient in searching for fish, and so hasty to write-off your soul because you can't see it?
