That won't ever change, but you will also gain a new appreciation for the

underwater can be a zen experience.

I don't think Zen teachings look kindly on fishing, and certainly not on
catch-and-release sport fishing. You should find a new metaphor. :-)

Not "Zen" - just "zen". Like how the ignorant might experience it. "Many
youths in the Beat generation and among the hippies of the 1960s and 1970s
misunderstood the goals and methods of Zen. While the scholar D.T. Suzuki
may have brought attention to concepts basic to the Zen tradition - such as
humility, labor, service, prayer, gratitude, and meditation - by contrast
the "hip" subculture often focused on states of consciousness in
themselves."
