I'm nominating this post by @botefarm

I saw the freewrite grapevine prompt and did not think I had anything for it except for that song we all know. But reading this post gave me memories I might write about later.

@botefarm is a Nigerian farmer. He translated a nursery rhyme from his childhood about picking the fruit while leaving the vine. Then he relates this idea to passing on knowledge amongst farmers and finally to "bearing fruit to those whom we meet along life's journey." And all of this is wrapped up into lessons from the bible I really needed to hear today.

This post gives me all the reasons I stick with steemit against all common sense. It is the connections with people and thoughtful work like this that keep me here.
