Today, I’m grateful to live in a space between subsistence and decadence, between scarcity and consumption. It feels like a gift. I can work for harvest, enjoying the fruit of my labor, while also knowing that my work was never going to be enough anyway. I can give tomatoes away, and I can leave a few on the vine without fear. And I wonder if this is what it means to flourish, to exist in a place where limits are no liability because abundance is sure. I wonder if this is Eden.Grace to work. Grace to receive. Grace to know it never depended on me in the first place.
Hannah Anderson, from "Turning of Days: Lessons from Nature, Season, and Spirit", p.103
