Pomello

[vaneramos]

Last week Sylvie introduced me to the pomello, largest of citrus fruits. It was pleasant, so I brought another one home with the groceries yesterday. It tastes like a mild grapefruit, with a distinct fragrance reminiscent of fresh walnuts. The rind is thick and spongy, and the heavy membranes are best discarded, so the fruit is labour-intensive like a pomegranate. The dry flesh, however, is easy to handle and can be picked up and nibbled without making a mess. By the time I finished pulling the fruit apart I had had a satisfying snack, and there was plenty left for another gloomy day. It's nice to be reminded there are still simple, new pleasures to be experienced.

We are what the universe evolves to contextualize its high level quantum events.

I've considered that, but the way you put it into words seems especially appealing. Thank you for putting so much thought (and kindness) into this comment. You are an inspiration.
