A pain worthwhile~


You shower your vines with love and constant care over the months, but it is when the most long awaited period arrives, when you and your works steps into the final stage, that your heart ache to see your vines go through the period of thirst. You are tempted to shower them with water, but only to be held back by the cruelty of reality and for the best of results at the end of the race.

You even pray hard no rain comes in to intercept in this struggle. You smile with mixed feelings when the sun rises everyday. You walk to your beloved cluster of grapes with a heart full of love, but only to find yourself not able to give them their very needs.

You run your fingers over the vines, hoping somehow they will understand and continue to saturate and bring out the ultimate sweetness from deep within them. And when the time comes for them to take the sugar and acidity test, you smile with relieve that all hardship has paid off. The harvest takes place, and you know with the final batch of lovely grapes being cut off from the stem, it is a time of reward - for both you and the grapes for you may finally unleash all your love and provide them with some quenching water!

P.S: It's been such a long time since I last posted and share here...hope this small little post will help water this blog and bring some sweetness to it once again.
