I found this while randomly surfing the internet. I thought it was appropriate quote for the time of year, and applicable to any sort of harvest, though the original definitely refers to agriculture.
A Hopi elder says:
“We Hopi are enabled to look at ourselves as we are. The amount and quality we harvest reflect our ways of life in the past years. If the harvest is good, our mind power was strong and clear and in harmony with nature and spirit through prayers. This is faithfulness and happiness. If the harvest is poor, our power of mind strayed because it was not clear, and the prayers did not connect to accomplish the desire. This is sadness and a reason to worry.”
