Frosty sunrise, by Elioth Gruner
Robert L. Martin

Robert L. Martin

The Grape Picker

The thoughts of the grape picker.  “Hallelujah. I’m going to the vineyard today to work with the other lovers of labor and to bind myself with them and to God. I was created to keep pace with the progression of the Earth and do my part to help it prosper. With them and love in my heart, I can fulfill Earth’s internal requirement that was branded in my soul by doing my part. Without my labor, I am a burden to my friends. I am an integral part of the labor force.”

I wrote this for The Belt and Beyond.
