The gifts of earth, in autumn,
Are fruits of labor bold;
The faithful sower reaps
In harvest time his gold.
It twines the wreath of gladness
Around that son of earth.
As he turns from care and sadness,
To his joyous household hearth!
– Charles William Butler
It is only the farmer who faithfully plants
seeds in the Spring, who reaps a
harvest in the Autumn.
– B. C. Forbes
We reap and we sow,
an emergence of pleasure.
The harvest begins.
– Upon Learning, by Melissa Schwartz
The thankful receiver bears a plentiful harvest.
– William Blake
The law of harvest is to reap more than you sow.
Sow an act, and you reap a habit.
Sow a habit and you reap a character.
Sow a character and you reap a destiny.
– James Allen
In seed time learn, in harvest teach, in winter enjoy.
– William Blake

An Important Message from Steve McCurry
“I can think of few more extraordinary humanitarian
organizations than the EMERGENCY
hospitals in Afghanistan which have
operated continuously throughout the
turbulence of the past few years.
When many fled the country, Emergency
doubled down on their commitment to care
for Afghans as they have since 1999.”
– Steve McCurry
We have teamed up with Ishkar to raise
funds by selling the print below at a special,
one-time price to show
Afghanistan we have not forgotten.
More information: at http://www.ishkar.com
All profits from the print sale will go to EMERGENCY’S
work in Afghanistan.

Lovely…I missed your photo exhibiti
on in Vienna in July this year. I was travelling from India.
Wonderful, inspiring images of harvest time, Steve. Each one a beautiful surprise, especially the harvesters in Yemen. Thank you.
Beautiful and inspiring. It helps to be reminded that all people are woven from the same thread.
Es sind immer wieder einzigartige Bilder die so berührend sind! Wundervoll!
I Love each and every image and poem, but the “hats,” in Yemen are too wonderful for words….thanks for the image.
In Yemen, when you see the hats, I see the veils covering women’s faces. And I feel so sad for them 😦
