Congratulations to the Class of 2009! As you venture out to explore the grapevines of your life, remember to take time to taste the grapes. A great bottle of wine perfectly represents the qualities of life. It begins with the entire universe, and all of the energy from which each life gives and receives. From a small seed, vines reach out to revel in the sunlight and find their path to fruition. Some vines may be broken, or bitten by frost, but for every tendril that shrinks, another will venture out to try again. With care, toiling, and some lazy days in the sun, the vines will blossom into grapes. The grapes are life’s sweet moments, bursting with flavor and promise. Yet, no matter how beautiful, plentiful, and sweet, the fruit must still be crushed in order to transform into the next life phase. More trials and tribulations await the young grapes on their journey to becoming wine, but age will soothe the bitterness and concentrate the joyfulness. Time always prevails, and when it is right, we can sit back, pop the cork, and savor the flavor of our lives.

Now, if I only had a bottle of wine for every happy graduate this year, I’d have enough to fill my entire Instant Wine Cellar!
