Entire Orchards
Dear Rita Mae
Brown,
These days
there is a vast gap between what I wish to accomplish and what gets done. The
distance twixt the two grows fractionally slimmer day by day, a good trend
though, moving closer inch by inch.
Like a soup,
the recipe of our lives is adjusted to taste. All too often it is easier to
take what’s tried and tested, than to branch out into new flavors and textures.
So we start with a little more, or less, salt, or pepper. Maybe take just one
cup and add something red, a pepper or tomato, careful not to mar the whole
pot.
This is all we
hold, but not all we have. Yet what we hold, we take great care to protect,
even when it is not the best for us, even when there is better out there.
We have an
entire Universe and more, the past, the future, and now, everyone and
everything. Still we concentrate on only what is in our grasp, the house, the
job, the people, always careful not to rock the applecart, unconscious of the
entire orchards beckoning to be explored.
It’s a good day
to try a new apple, maybe a honeycrisp or gala.
Cheers,
Loraine
