I was outside picking mulberries just now for my friend Joy.  Since I’d picked a pint for myself and one for my neighbor the other day, I didn’t know if there would be much more ripe and within reach.  I began at the back of the tree and moved counter clockwise around it, picking all the black berries I could reach.  After a pint it looked like there were no more for today.  Then I stepped 6 inches back, and suddenly I was surrounded by ripe berries!  I thought, mulberries are like opportunities. You work one section until you have taken all the mulberries you can see and you think there are no more.  Then you step 6 inches to the right and you’re in a whole new world of mulberries.
