...and it's you are whatever a moon has always meant and whatever a sun will always sing is you here is the deepest secret nobody knows (here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud and the sky of the sky of a tree called life; which grows higher than the soul can hope or mind can hide) and this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart I carry your heart (I carry it in my heart)” ― E.E. Cummings

beauty in the rain
As I was letting the eggplant weep, several things happened simultaneously. Jordan ran an errand, I let Tank out to pee, and Sam came over. Which meant I was outside and saw the most beautiful rainbow ever! Jordan called from the road to say he could see the entire thing - beginning, arc, and end. Sam and I were so very tempted to run across the street to the field to find the end - it was that close! But I couldn't let my aubergines weep alone.

great photo, thanks for the update.
ReplyDeletei had heard of that process of drenching your eggplant and then squezing it, and letting it dry with salt on it to get the bitterness out, but i didn't know it was called weeping. very interesting life analogy.
