Our first (ever) fertilized fig. The fig wasps finally found us. We've had figs in previous years, but only small green ones. Now, to eat it before the deer do!!

"To love someone long-term is to attend a thousand funerals of the people they used to be. The people they're too exhausted to be any longer. The people they don't recognize inside themselves anymore. The people they grew out of, the people they never ended up growing into.

We so badly want the people we love to get their spark back when it burns out; to become speedily found when they are lost.

But it is not our job to hold anyone accountable to the people they used to be. It is our job to travel with them between each version and to honor what emerges along the way."

Heidi Priebe, "This Is Me Letting You Go"
