Psalm 1 promises that the man
Who delights in the law of the LORD
Shall bring forth his fruit in his season.
(Let’s assume this applies to women, too.)
Most trees do not produce fruit year round.
There is dormancy, bud break, and growth
Before harvest. An apple tree that produced
Apples without pause would be unnatural.
So if you are in a season of dormancy,
Or bud break, or growth, there’s nothing wrong.
All the seasons are necessary, but we only
Celebrate the fruit. Maybe today celebrate dormancy.
And don't you know it through and through?
