Standing in the dim coolness of my kitchen this morning, I ate a ripe peach at the counter. I did not bother to sit down, it was too good. I chewed quietly, juice trickling over my fingertips. In a sweet burst of concentrated summer, it occurred to me that sometimes the blind indifference of the Universe is swept away by a glimpse of the Divine.
It was an excellent peach.
It was an excellent peach.

ReplyDeleteDamn, son - you can even make the simple act of eating a peach profound.
ReplyDeleteThe sound of God in a still, small voice.

Yum. YUM!
ReplyDeleteGod's way of comfort, should you choose to listen. Even if your heart aches, there are still some things to bring you joy.
ReplyDeleteI think of you often, and send you good thoughts.
I remember peaches like this, from the Okanagan in B.C. The ones that arrive here in Scotland are just flavourless compared to those dreamy fruits bought by the bag from road-side stands. Sigh. Peaches are good.
ReplyDeleteReading this was like I was standing and watching you eat the peach. My mouth is watering. :-)
ReplyDeleteOnly you could make a peach sound that fantastic. Don't get me wrong, I love peaches but now if I don't have one within a matter of minutes, someone is gonna get hurt.
ReplyDeleteGood to see you out and about!
I'm movin' to the country, I'm gonna eat a lot of peaches... Peaches come from a can, They were put there by a man, In a factory downtown.
ReplyDeleteOh come on Irish, I couldn't help myself!!
There's a little peach juice there on your chin *wipes it off*
ReplyDeleteBetter... :)
Funny how the simplest of acts can be so comforting.
ReplyDeleteGlad to see you.
A Zen peach, even.

I had a good nectarine like that...not quite as zen, but it was good.
ReplyDeleteYeah, a really good peach does that to me, too. And standing up to eat it is a REQUIREMENT!
ReplyDeleteGoodness...is it hot in here?
