Hmmm, I found my first fruit tree in the city and for the first time have a feast as a gatherer of nature.

Dear readers,

Yesterday as I was going around to record the grow of all the gardens, I found my first wild fruit tree in the city and for the same time, I had a feast as a gatherer of nature.

I was over in the garden by the intersection of Wealthy St. and Division Av. I was walking around the garden and suddenly I realized that there were so many berries on the ground. So I right away looked up to find the source of all these berries. There it stand over me, this big berries tree. I was so excited. I think they are black berries. They were so sweet. I bended a branch over and start feasting on its produces. It was such an amazing feeling to gather right off from a tree belong to nature and enjoy its sweetness and nutrient. Something about being a gatherer really place me to a humble place. When I picking those black berries, I was praising and thanking nature for such miracle of growing to be a fruit bear tree from a tiny seed. It is so humbling to rely not on my own sweat and land and tool but to rely on nature to provide that sweet berries. I felt bless.



 There were all over the ground!
