Unexpected Harvest
cbr, 2025
I didn’t set out looking for a profound moment. Just another day at the farmers market - baskets, fresh produce, the gentle hum of community. But sometimes, the most transformative encounters happen when we least expect them.
Unplanned Sanctuary
There’s something sacred about local markets. Rows of vibrant vegetables, sunlight dancing on fresh produce - it’s like walking through a living psalm. “The earth is the Lord’s, and everything in it” Psalm 24:1 suddenly became more than just words.
Stepping Into Divine Presence
We’ve been chasing spirituality in all the wrong places. Meditation retreats. Expensive workshops. Complicated rituals. But here, among tomatoes and local honey, we discovered something profound.
“For where two or three gather in my name, there am I with them.” Matthew 18:20
Community isn’t about perfect alignment. It’s about showing up. Connecting. Being present.
Unexpected Classroom
Our journey revealed unexpected truths:
Spirituality isn’t a destination
Divine connection happens in ordinary moments
Grace grows in unexpected soil
Transformation is a daily practice
Beyond the Spiritual Performance
We realized our faith wasn’t about performing righteousness. It was about authentic connection. About seeing the divine in the everyday - in the farmer’s weathered hands, in the child’s laughter, in the simple exchange of fresh produce.
Harvest of Hope
To our fellow travelers: Your spiritual journey isn’t measured by grand gestures, but by moments of genuine presence.
Stay curious. Stay humble. Stay connected.
With radical love and unwavering hope,
The Seeker (Mitchell Royel)
