They're all around. They are everywhere. They're in the stores, in the malls, in the office, on the job site. They're next door and across the street. They are in this city, and they're in the city near by. They're across this nation, and all over the world. If they were a disease, they would be an epidemic. If they were an illness, they would be an outbreak. What are they the reader may be asking? People who are hurting, brokenhearted, depressed, imprisoned and lonely. They are essentially like a ripened field who await those who will harvest them with care.
Life is hard, and sometimes it is harder than others. Disappointments come, and unfulfilled expectations arrive. People hurt one another, and those who have authority often abuse rather than guide. Neglect and inattention thrive in some environments, and children are often exposed to arguments and fighting rather than care and tenderness. All of these contribute to the unfulfilled life that reaches out for another person or someone to give aid.
The key to this harvest lies in getting through the shell. Each person who has been subject to the above mentioned behaviors develops his or her own way to protect themselves. Their exposure has caused their sad, mad or mean demeanor, and sometimes long and caring effort is required to harvest there. These are the fields most give up on. These are the field most allow someone else to glean, however, these may be the very fields that the reader has been placed in by the master agrarian above, and the harvest truly is plentiful. Good harvesting. Until tomorrow...Why Say More?
