It’s not just cucumbers.

It’s their real-life example of the power of growth. From that first tendril that took hold one month ago…

To the fecund vine that has taken over my garden’s fenceline…

It’s the natural fundamental. This propensity to flower and fruit. This inherent directive to evolve. The fulfillment of a destiny.

All, only possible through the necessary ingredients: sunlight, water, soil.

Tonight, I imbibe the fruit of encouragement.
