THE BOUNTY<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I most recently stood in the very center of a cotton field and thought of humanity \u00e2\u20ac\u00a6<\/span><\/p>\n

I looked and saw the wonders in the projection of collective energy, organic growth, flower and fruit.<\/span><\/p>\n

Like in human beings, I found many variations of individuals in these plans; each with its own properties, all with needs of water and proper environmental elements, which assure a healthy and prosperous growth. Most importantly, all in need of light, care and love.<\/span><\/p>\n

I witness each one growing, being true to its own metamorphosis, putting out a leaf here and a leaf there, properly balancing its own growth. Like us in search of balance, while we create a proper and meaningful direction in life in order to realize, to achieve, to produce and to offer our own flower and fruit.<\/span><\/p>\n

In the same manner in which we ask a field to grow, to produce and to yield a good harvest, we equally hope and ask of ourselves to learn and to grow.<\/span><\/p>\n

In answering our expectations, we happily and responsibly offer the fruit of our efforts as a part of the result of our journey through this life.<\/span><\/p>\n

Its our human nature.<\/span><\/p>\n

The process and its results represent The Bounty. The caliber of it, it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s the result of individual virtues, development and growth. The collective beauty is a wonder of wonders \u00e2\u20ac\u00a6<\/span><\/p>\n

I most recently stood in the very center of a cotton field and in its splendor, I thought of us.<\/span><\/p>\n
