Set in a quiet coastal village, the tale follows Esau, an old fisherman who lives with deep intention and quiet reverence for life. Unlike the other villagers rushing to sea, Esau moves slowly—not because of age, but from mindful awareness. When a young man from the city, worn down by the noise and pressure of modern life, encounters Esau, the two embark on a day of fishing that becomes far more than a simple boat ride.
✨ Along the way, Esau imparts profound wisdom:
- “The sea is like our minds—sometimes calm, sometimes stormy. But always, it is the sea.”
- “Fishing is not just about the fish—it’s about being present with every sense.”
