Even the
Earth Cries
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
For me here in central Mexico, the week has been
extraordinarily quiet and peaceful.
I am well aware that all around me is a world in flood,
beset by fierce winds, on fire, people, families, entire communities lost, wars
and rumors of wars.
My friend Sandy wrote me that one of the greatest joys in
life is savoring good food.
Instead of an article, I’m sharing a photo taken in one of
my favorite markets, Etza Fruts. Pepe, the proprietor, always has a smile and a
good word for every person who passes through. His market is filled with fresh
fruits and vegetables, grown locally and throughout Mexico and Central America.
Sometimes I like to simply stand in the middle of an aisle,
just for a moment, close my eyes and inhale the various scents, especially of
the exotic (to me) fruits. The vegetables have their own earthy scents. I am a
fortunate woman, indeed.
