An Ode to Strawberry Picking

These vibrant strawberries came to fruition because a farmer made a conscious decision to plant seeds and cultivate them. As I walked through the vast farmland with my family in tow, I think about what seeds in my own life I want to plant and cultivate. Now that I’m safely back home in New York, I feel myself going through a transformation on many levels - mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. There are aspects of me, of my life that require uprooting, watering, tending to. What I know now is that in life we bloom and die, bloom and die, many times over.
