The busy lives we create get in the way. Too much activity and noise and stuff, I guess. Just read the article, "Bumping into each other in marriage" by Wally Goddard in Meridian Magazine (ldsmag.com) where he said, "I am confident that we live far beneath our spiritual privileges. God stands willing to give us far more than we know or receive (See D&C 78:17-19). In response to our calls for mercy, God may give us greater compassion, lighten our loads, open doors of opportunity—God is eternally creative!"

A book I think you would enjoy that I read lately that goes along with that scripture is "Same Kind of Different as Me," a true story about an extremely rich international art dealer, his spiritually in-tune wife, and a sharecropper who'd never had a cent to his name, had been homeless and in jail, and how they became best friends. The two men alternate chapters, telling the story from their point of view. Great book, hard to put down. That is a scripture that makes us stop and think, doesn’t it?

I wanted to comment on the 'to cover or not to cover'- I had the same dilema and decided to not cover then had a ting of guilt for allowing the bounty of tomatoes to rot, I quickly justified it by telling myself something to the effect " they will go the way of the earth and put nutrients into the soil," it worked. Hee hee. I agree it seems crazy to think one must receive a revelation, sort of speak, to realize that it is there and available to all.
