Working hard to plant what will someday ripen, their beautiful yield to be savored and enjoyed. Shared with a loved one, a friend, a confidant - gratitude for squeezing something sweet from the salt of sweat and resolve.

Two friends at ease, their time touched by a present but unseen sun, casting shadows as big as their effort.

Their focus not on what lies ahead, but rather what is at hand, of this moment. Their desire to be together, to share, to celebrate the present abundance, to rest, to balance the inner warmth of hard work with the refreshing chill of life freshly squeezed.
