All The Colors!!!

I remember when the students seeded the onions. For two weeks nothing happened. I had given up on them. Then, when I least expected it, they sprouted, and now they are beautiful and hearty ready for harvesting. Plants are a lot more resilient than you'd think. It's almost like the color is buried deep down inside the soul of the seed fighting its way into full expression before God and the rest of creation. I look at the garden and marvel at all the colors bursting into life. As I watch Rebecca harvest the onions, I think of the millions of women all over the world who harvest their own food, and I somehow feel connected to all of them. I love our garden!!!!
