Harvest

“Harvest”

Plants give up their fruits 
for us to consume 
(among other animals) 

So, we give up our fruits 
for others (the rich?) 
to consume. 

Is this exploitation;
oppression? Our labour, 
our products – what we 
produce
in value 
used 
indiscriminately ( a rare 
pleasure to choose to whom 
we give, and even then, 
is it a choice?) 

Or: 
is it humility 
and service? Always 
seemingly, 
replenished 
by that life-giving stream 

a
life-giving stream of 
many waters

replenishing, replenishing

Spirit of God 

bestowing gifts 
of understanding. 

How I want 
To understand.

Ah yes, the longing to understand. I wonder, perhaps, if it is not consuming which is the problem. Instead the problem could be described as consuming beyond any ability to adapt and recuperate ?

yes, and the longing to understand where that point of ability/ inability to adapt/ recuperate is. Made more enigmatic by faith!
