HARVEST

Tend your garden.

Clear the weeds,

Till the soil.

What looks parched and broken is actually fertile,

and full of fat worms,

and tiny green shoots

that need more light

Clear away now with abandon.

Scatter fresh mulch.

Sweep out the cellar.

Gather the baskets.

This is the season of repair.

This is the work of the healing heart.

Make way now, the harvest is coming.

And there will be plenty enough for all.
