What harvest will we reap
When the seeds of isolation bloom?
Will it feed the hunger of connection?
Or will it be blighted with fear?
Is food for our soul
A quick fix for the
Needs of our bodies?
Which god should we worship?

Racing against time to get this quadrille in for De Jackson at dVerse, Quadrille #104 – Fix. I was also able to incorporate Patrick’s Pic and a Word Weekly Challenge #223 – Harvest (back on track and continuing my streak!!) as well as, Kate’s Friday Fun Prompt – Worship. I am so pleased with myself for finding the time to write today and get some of my thoughts out on paper. This is my 3rd post for today! I’ve never done that before….maybe it’s because I have to run tonight…..
I’ve been looking into virtual summer camps for my kids today and thinking about what we can focus on for this summer – academics, athletics, or amusement? At the same time, I was reading parenting blogs about how parents are dealing with kids being home all the time during shelter in place. The saying, “You reap what you sow” popped in my head – what summer seeds do I want to sow in my kids that will lead to a “good harvest”? What does a “good harvest” look like?

I’m going to be thinking about this during my run tonight…

that’s a really profound poem Irma, you packed so much into so few words! Impressive 🙂
Enjoy your run tonight, it should ‘fix’ things and you can say a little prayer on the way ❤

Thought-provoking verse, Irma! What do we sow to reap a good harvest?

Yes, I’ve been thinking of it – what seeds and best processes to get from seed to harvest. I don’t have a green thumb so this is worrisome…

Irma, we learn as we do and if our intentions are good I am sure we will be able to nurture seeds to a good harvest. I am sure you will find you have green thumbs. ❤️
