Lessons Learned

I learned two things this morning.

1) I was stretching after my walk, and as I was looking at the trail upside down, legs wide, head down, I saw a long shape lying on the path. At first, I thought it was a curled up leaf, or a seed pod. Then I realized it was moving. It was a slug. The slug was making its way steadily but oh so slowly across the asphalt path, which was as wide to him as the Mississippi would be to me. He could be stepped on at any moment, the sun could fry him before he reached the safety of the grass on the opposite side. It can take a long time to reach a goal. That doesn't mean it isn't worth it. Don't get discouraged!


2) Peaches are the sexiest fruit. Skin on, they blush at you, like they know a secret you don't. The peach is having impure thoughts. The crease on them is suggestively naughty. It could be a great ass, or the opening of a woman's secret place. (Hard place to describe without being flowery, vulgar or clinical) I was peeling my peaches to cut them up (I plan to pour vanilla yogurt on them later, there's some more sensual imagery for you) and when the knife split the skin, the flesh of the peach and the juice rose up around the knife, covering it in sweetness. Peaches are the sexiest fruit.
