Cool and collected. Cool as a cucumber. Why do “they” say that? A cucumber isn’t cool when it is on the vine. Growing, expanding. Transforming. No, this cucumber if fighting for nourishment, water.
Ah, but don’t leave this cucumber on the vine for too long…
What good is a cucumber that has been left too long, that has lost it’s flavor?
Yes, left alone, this cucumber will decompose and feed the soil, this is true.
Why not bring this cucumber inside. Wash it. Prepare it. Make a dip to accompany it or make a salad. Enjoy it. Let this cucumber nourish you.
Have you put two and two together yet? No? Yes?
You are the cucumber in this little story. We are meant to grow. We are meant to thrive. Sure, you can stay where you are or you can learn, travel, explore. See new sites, meet new people. Find something to look forward to. What are you doing sitting there watching the clock, seeing the days float by? Here and there, well, OK, that’s alright. Come on though, get to liven’, stop letting life pass you by.
So, come on kids. Invite your friends over, call the family. Pot luck everyone, “I’ll make the salad!”
