BERRY SEASON

A few days ago, my Amish neighbors told me where I could find   blueberries for sale.  I pulled  up to the house and  noticed several   generations of Amish women  sorting  berries. The Grandmother was   overseeing several younger girls  as  they chatted  happily together working   at a large picnic  table in the shade.  The little boys  were filling their red   wagons with boxed berries and taking  them to the  selling station in the   basement.  The berries were big as nickels  and very  sweet.  A steady line   of customers traveled the long  lane to the  foot of the   mountain.  Apparently they sell out  without ever posting a  sign.

We live, in fact, in a world starved for solitude, silence, and private: and therefore starved for meditation and true friendship.
