« mexico and the heart of mary | Main | haiku the night »
mexico
an infusion of
earthy, passionate, juicy exuberance.
generously, ingeniously she
melds exotic essential ingredients into pure manna.
lavishing
all our senses, each sip or mouthful a perfect prayer.
that's the inherent joy of mexico,
serving everything up in an intense celebration of bright life
that quenches ones deepest longings,
filling hearts, eyes, souls
as well as nurturing our bodies.
every bite a petition for
vida la vida.

"an intense celebration of bright life" is what I need and enjoy. I love the colour in the 3rd picture. I am wearing an orange shirt today. There's something about orange that lights me up inside.

Look at the lush colours of the fruit! Yum! That papaya looks so good. So do the fruite shakes. What is the plant by the pineapples in the third photograph?
