Fruit Harvest

Between blossom and fruit there is a long interlude of waiting…

From orchards, indeed from nature in general, we learn a humbling lesson about patience.  There are times when we can hasten the processes under our control–for example, we can work faster to build a wall.  But there are other times when we must accept our powerlessness:  all we can do is observe and protect the fruit crop.  Master the art of patience and you’ll know something important about the human condition.
