A more fragrant fruit would spring up in our lives if we were a little more “organic”

high point of the hot summer season here in the desert and so our local Farmer’s Market is closed for a few months, but that hasn’t stopped us. Once a week my wife and I drive almost an hour to go to the only Farmer’s Market that continues to remain open in the summertime here in our desert community.

We do this because the produce sold at the “Certified Organic Farmer’s Market” is so much better than what you can buy in a supermarket – it makes it worth the trip.

I never thought there would be much of a difference between organically grown food and the kind of mass-produced stuff in the produce section of a store, but I have discovered an incredible difference between the two.

Tomatoes, cucumbers, asparagus or eggplant grown “organically” have a remarkably better and richer flavor texture and fragrance from the mass-produced produce treated with pesticides, chemical fertilizers and artificial coloring to make them more marketable.

The thing about an “organic garden” is that the farmer just plants the seed, does a little watering and some weeding from time to time and then “Mother Nature” does the rest- and nature does a really great job.

I think there is a lesson to be found here that might be applied to the spiritual life – maybe richer, sweeter, and more fragrant fruit would spring up in our lives if we were a little more “organic” when it comes to walking a spiritual pathway.  READ MORE
