The Basket Of Summer Fruit

Israels summer fruits were grapes figs and olives. Other fruits were dates and pomegranates and black mulberry.

Have you ever wondered why different fruits come up in different seasons. We have summer fruits, winter fruits, some that prefer spring and some that even prefer autumn.

This is much the same with vegetables too. Leaving the plant kingdom, if we were to look at the birds we would notice their seasonal migratory patterns and seasonal nesting patterns. Almost every animal in the wild has its own natural seasonal patterns of life.

Then there is  the diurnal schedules of animals. Most animals sleep or rest at night and hunt or forage for food in the night. While some do the opposite. Every created being on earth have their own rhyme and rhythm. Their life itself is the music of nature, like the birds that awaken the day with their mellifluous voices or the cock that crows even before daybreak to announce the arrival of yet another day.

All of nature sings and dances to some invisible, yet intrinsic chord.
We humans are the only ones who have tried to willfully cartwheel out of sync. And we have been doing so since the last 100 years.
