. . .but being at the vineyard yesterday evening was a wonderfully spiritual experience. I know, like I said, cheesy. But you know, it was. I wish I had a camera to take pictures of our dusty group walking together to our last row. It sort of reminded of the scene from "Man in the Iron Mask" where the Musketeers have just been shot at in the prison. They come walking out of the smoke, a little ragged and injured a bit, but they persevere. I know, totally cheesy, but as I saw our ragged group trudge along to our extra and final row, I thought to myself, "This is what it is all about." People were enjoying friendships, families were enjoying being together, and everyone had that "put you shoulder to the wheel" mentality. I am so glad that we made it there.
Oh I so remember the vineyards. Good and dirty times.
ReplyDeleteTotally not cheesy. I know the exact feeling you are talking about it, and I love it too. I haven't had the privilege of going to the vineyard yet but I actually think I would really enjoy the experience. Maybe next year. :)
