Ron, what a lovely meditation on seasons and on this season! Reading it I felt grounded in the rhythms and peace of a garden while in actuality sitting in a sterile waiting room

I love so much about this, Ron. Just before reading, I was reflecting on the Lord's Prayer and "Thy kingdom come." Your thoughts about salt bringing food to fullness, and flavors to completion, with the welcome pun on "season," will have me chewing (couldn't help that one) all day on being the salt of the earth. Thank you.

I love it and will be happy to comply. We grow close to the Persephone period, the time when we have too little sun for plants to grow, but I will starting seeds by Epiphany. Spring is already on my heart.
