...is forever ripe.
When I close my eyes, deepen my breath, and let go of urgency, I can begin to see nothing will be found if love remains disconnected from everything I do. And I can see there is no way forward if I sort the unripe fruit and only decorate my table with the very best life has to offer. I can also see a life spent accumulating from odd ends of the Earth amounts to so little if it does not add to love’s bounty.
