[Seasons: Autumn XII]
September is the beginning of fall and is the *heaviest* harvest month. The squash are pleading for cool storage space, the melons are pregnant with sweet watery flesh, and the potatoes are pushing to the surface of the soil. Summer may be the season of abundance, but fall is the season to capture and store the abundance. Without fall preparations, winter will be fraught with cravings for fresh produce.
Abundance is never wasted, as nature puts everything to use. Humans (and squirrels) merely redirect it to a place that is useful at a later time. Abundance is not a human construction; it’s a baseline truth throughout creation. Scarcity, however, is a human construction, and it’s the consequence of redirecting abundance with selfish intent. Scarcity does not cause greed and waste; scarcity is the result of greed and waste.
The tree doesn’t produce too few acorns. Somewhere a squirrel is hoarding them.
