Starting Harvest Today

I was hoping to avoid harvest work this year, as I have so many other things to do. But I started today and found I really need it. I did some walking on the farm and it is comforting to be walking on the land. There is a connection here that is missing when I walk in town or on the bike trails. Time slows down. And I needed that. All the worries that have been weighing me down are falling away too. What can I do about them in the middle of a soybean field? Nothing, absolutely nothing. And so I am letting go of them as well and looking forward to another day of harvest work tomorrow. Thank you, cousin, for dragging me away from all those needless shackles.
