I went through a period of a year or more of writer's block (I was going through all my scrawled notes the other day and finding that many times, when I could put a few words together, it was to express my frustration at not being able to write!), which was also a time of extreme stress and turmoil in my life. But, you know what? You are so right about the ground lying fallow in preparation to bring forth new fruit (or, uh, vegies...). When water began to slowly seep up into the well again, I found myself in a different place, with a different perspective, and something new to say. I also learned in that empty time to focus on soaking up rather than trying to squeeze something out. It was a transforming time.<br/><br/>I suppose all I've done is re-write your post in different words :-), but all this to say that I can relate and am encouraged by what you had to say!

For the overwhelming feeling that I can't keep up with garden produce, garden care, days at farmer's market, housekeeping, relationships... I came in and read this beautifully written post, and my heart sang with the joy that had sprung from the prayers I'd sent heavenward among my wilted plants. ;-)<br/>Bravissimo and praise the Lord! What perfect timing...<br/>Enjoy September, Lanier. :-) I was out in our garden, almost in tears today…for what?
