What else can you learn from a bunch of pumpkins?

I sat there and just sort of stared at the pumpkins in that field. AAnd looking up close I saw these little vines connecting them all to one another, and there were so many pumpkins—little pumpkins, big pumpkins and medium pumpkins.

Different-colored pumpkins and there were gorgeous squashes and things… but what I noticed was that they were all intertwined with the same vines. And although some were decaying and dying, many of them were still living quite well and vibrant and stuff, and I don’t know, I just sort of looked at that and I started thinking of the way of the world today and how we sort of are all connected the same way… you know in a goofy way, but symbolically.

But we really are connected, you know? we don’t have the vines per se although maybe the umbilical cord when we’re in utero, but nonetheless we’re all connected, and this just made me think of that about how we are all spiritually connected we are all “pumpkins in the pumpkin patch” connected by God, connected by the ‘one thing’ and I don’t know, I just sort of felt kind of fascinated— it was beautiful and something that I took away from today’s pumpkin patch… life lesson, thinking that we’re all connected the same way. Just think about and see if that resonates with you.
