Some grow as wheat of the field, in a single season breaking through the ground and ripening. But their produce is such that it must be shelled and ground and refined and kneaded and baked before providing good to the world--and much must be cast aside.
Others grow as the date palm, which may weather seventy years before its first fruit arrives. But it is fruit that is sweet and satisfying to the hand that picks it, and every part of the palm and its fruit have something of value to provide.
Plow and sow. The fruits will come.
