Someone must reap the harvest. For good or ill, some of those chance-sown seeds must ripen into grain. _______________________________________________________________________________ Grain blighted perhaps, or grain grown into beauty unimagined, unimaginable, unforeseen at the time of sowing. _______________________________________________________________________________ They speak of wild oats in secret if at all, but surely some of those ripe random stalks add richness to a world that would be the poorer without them. ~ © 2011 RC deWinter
