This week I’ve been feasting on these beauties! Cherry tomatoes and peaches—each morning, a prayer. Once a small seed nourished over time by loving heart, sun, moon, wind, rain, stars, tender hands … they ripen seemingly simply sitting on the kitchen counter. Each morning’s prayer, I count myself so blessed to have somehow through anticipation of the fullness of their taste, smell, feel, vibrant color, celebrate the small contribution we together make in transforming the world.
They witness and inspire me to live transformation, to BE transformed by their determination to grow.
It’s the least I can do.
