Following our story on cotton production and harvest in the southwestern United States, we decided to find out about the tradition of harvest in another part of the world: namely, France. The famed grape harvest in the Beaujolais region of France was worth participating in for an American student; but, what he learned about “harvesting fruits” became a good lesson for all of us. Essentially, harvesting fruit of labor requires another sort of heavy labor. The ‘Vendanges’—the French word for the grape harvest—comes with its own set of physical and mental challenges—challenges that can only be met by working in a team and staying focused on the goal.

Elizabeth Bowers

Born and raised in Absecon, a small town in Southern New Jersey, Elizabeth Bowers spent her childhood looking for ways to make sense out of life. This search blossomed into a passionate need to understand eternal truisms. Her father, a Christian minister, taught her about the Christian Faith, from a fundamental point of view. But Bowers saw deeper meaning in Biblical metaphors and similes.

After a lengthy career in human services and involvement in human rights and positive social reform she retired and began an earnest quest for a greater connection with Spirit. This has lead Bowers on a spiritual journey that continues to this day. Along the path, she has studied the writings of many of the world's religions and through that study, has developed an understanding of spiritual law and the impact that our own thinking has on our lives.
