A good friend passed this wisdom on to me today, I felt it was worth remembering.
"In my garden back home, we had grapes growing. One time a lady brought me one of the small unripe grapes and told me to eat it. I didn't want to because I knew it would be bitter, but she told me to remember how it tasted. Like the grape that hasn't yet had enough sun, nothing tastes as good as in the right time."
She was talking about relationships, but I know in all things I have a tendency to try and race through life, feelings first. Yes life is fleeting, but for everything there is a proper time.
