It’s getting to be that time. The farmers lay out their harvests and show the bounty of the Earth yet again. I never cease to be amazed at how lavish Mother Nature is. She’s never stingy. She never hoards anything. Instead, she always goes overboard and creates in such magnificent abundance. There’s so much that it can’t possibly all be used. Even rare specimens in the woods are still lavishly displayed and abundant in their health.

We live in a society where the idea of “lack” is taught
and, indeed, enforced to keep us all in line.
Everywhere we go and in everything we do, there is always the feeling
that we must hurry to get our share because there isn’t enough to go around. “First come, first serve! Only while supplies last!” If we get something, we’re told we should
feel lucky and privileged. Not everyone
can get what we have because there’s not enough! Only a select few can have this.
But it’s all a lie.
All of it. The Earth produces
massively just about everywhere if given half a chance. There’s work involved, yes—lots of it. But the reaping is much more than many people
who live in cities have been led to believe.
The abundance is overwhelming, in fact.
When you consider that you could grow a very good portion of your yearly
need for food on one-quarter an acre of land, you begin to see how generous the
Earth is and that you are not as beholden to someone else for your survival as
you thought you were. It opens up a
whole new world of possibility.
Let the Good Earth produce. De-program yourself from poverty
consciousness and open up to the abundance all around you, just waiting to be
plucked. If you sow, you will reap.
