After almost five months of growing from the size of a berry to that of the size of a table-tennis ball, the nutmeg would finally woeful break open on its own, exposing the red coloured maize and the brown coloured nut inside. As I have watched this during every season during the last five years, I have a feeling that the pattern is the same each time!
Each nutmeg complete its cycle in its own time! Not all of them begin or end their cycle at the same time as there are often fruits belonging different stages in a tree.
I carry a similar sense when I think of our human existence! There is an appointed time for everything.
Our lives are in different seasons of readiness. To be ready is to be fully present! To be present to God and to each other!
