Today was a disgusting day. Having traveled from another city in the morning, I arrived at work at 2:45 to be told I wasn't starting until 4. This, of course, provided a wonderful opportunity to get paid less and meditate on a bench in the middle of a small patch of grass next to a garbage can and a couple of aggressive squirrel-infested trees that North Americans would term a park. I was sitting down and grumpily staring into space when two teenagers brought me out of my reverie by asking me for a smoke - clearly, I look the part of a bitter spinster, eager to subvert innocent youths. Nearly half of my other students cancelled due to broken fingers and various other unforeseen accidents. I went home in a disgruntled daze after some brain-cell extinguishing conversations with the receptionist. Then, like a bolt of lightning, like a bird-poo falling out of the sky, it came : while waiting for the bus, I saw a small notice in the local paper on a colleague who'll be doing the local PREMIERE of a piece which I've been slowly drooling and procrastinating over for the past four years. I am stuck in reverse! I am going nowhere! I am getting fatter but not better!

2:1 Now Naomi had a relative on her husband?s side of the family named Boaz. He was a wealthy, prominent man from the clan of Elimelech. 2:2 One day Ruth the Moabite said to Naomi, ?Let me go to the fields so I can gather grain behind whoever permits me to do so.? Naomi replied, ?You may go, my daughter.? 2:3 So Ruth went and gathered grain in the fields behind the harvesters. Now she just happened to end up in the portion of the field belonging to Boaz, who was from the clan of Elimelech. Boaz and Ruth Meet 2:4 Now at that very moment, Boaz arrived from Bethlehem and greeted the harvesters, ?May the Lord be with you!? They replied, ?May the Lord bless you!” 2:5 Boaz asked his servant in charge of the harvesters, ?To whom does this young woman belong?? 2:6 The servant in charge of the harvesters replied, ?She?s the young Moabite woman who came back with Naomi from the region of Moab. 2:7 She asked, ?May I follow the harvesters and gather grain among the bundles?? Since she arrived she has been working hard from this morning until now

2:8 So Boaz said to Ruth, ?Listen carefully, my dear! Do not leave to gather grain in another field. You need not go beyond the limits of this field. You may go along beside my female 2:9 Take note of the field where the men are harvesting and follow behind with the female workers. I will tell the men to leave you alone.

2:10 Ruth knelt before him with her forehead to the ground and said to him, ?Why are you so kind and so attentive to me, even though 2:11 Boaz replied to her, ?I have been given a full report of all that you have done for your mother-in-law following the death of your husband ? how you left your father and your mother, as well as your homeland, and came to live among peop 2:12 May the Lord reward your efforts! May your acts of kindness be repaid fully by the Lord God of Israel, from whom you have sought protection!? 2:13 She said, ?You really are being kind to me, sir, for you have reassured and encouraged me, your servant, even th

2:14 Later during the mealtime Boaz said to her, ?Come here and have some food! Dip your bread in the vinegar!? So she sat down beside the harvesters. Then he handed her some roasted grain. She ate until she was full and saved the rest. 2:15 When she got up to gather grain, Boaz told his male servants, ?Let her gather grain even among the bundles! Don?t chase her off! 2:16 Make sure you pull out ears of grain for her and drop them so she can gather them up. Don?t tell her not to!? 2:17 So she gathered grain in the field until evening. When she threshed what she had gathered, it came to about thirty pounds of barley! Ruth Returns to Naomi 2:18 She carried it back to town, and her mother-in-law saw how much grain she had gathered. Then Ruth gave her the roasted grain she had saved from mealtime. 2:19 Her mother-in-law asked her, ?Where did you gather grain today? Where did you work? May the one who took notice of you be rewarded!? So Ruth told her mother-in-law with whom she had worked. She said, ?The name of the man with whom 2:20 Naomi said to her daughter-in-law, ?May he be rewarded by the Lord because he has shown loyalty to the living on behalf of the dead!? Then Naomi said to her, ?This man is a close relative of ours; he is our guardian.? 2:21 Ruth the Moabite replied, ?He even told me, ?You may go along beside my servants until they have finished gathering all my harvest!?? 2:22 Naomi then said to her daughter-in-law Ruth, ?It is good, my daughter, that you should go out to work with his female servants. That way you will not be harmed, which could happen in another field.? 2:23 So Ruth worked beside Boaz?s female servants, gathering grain until the end of the barley harvest as well as the wheat harvest. After that she stayed home with her mother-in-law.
