          It Will Not Keep

          Much like a row of fresh vegetables
          in your garden . . .

              - plant the seed well in good soil and full sun
              - water it
              - feed it
              - attend to its needs
              - take care for its weeds

              - relish it when young and tender

              - cultivate it
              - let some of it mature
              - savor it

              - and share the fruit before the colors fade

Yep, nurture it, enjoy the growth, and share the bounty of what is grown. Sums up many things, doesn't it.

I like this and agree .. there's a lot of wisdom in a refreshing message.

True wisdom is knowing how to accept and enjoy the whole. For the entire life-process, from seed planting, through all levels of growth and nurturing to reach the harvesting stages, demands our complete participation. We must see, hear, feel and breathe each moment fully.

What a treat, to read you again!
