A Green Mile of memories
One of my favorite movies of all time is Stephen King's "The Green Mile". It tells of the great, wonderful gift of second sight and tortured supernatural abilities of a kindhearted, simple and loving man, who though convicted of murder (of which he was innocent, but refused to defend himself against), became loved and cherished by everyone. Here was a great giant of a man, more than six feet tall and maybe over two hundred pounds in weight, but inside him beat the heart of an innocent and gentle child.

The slave who Boxed and shipped himself
My dear Henry Box, My heartfelt condolences and admiration for your fortitude and strength of character. As I reminisce on your life, I am filled with wonder and awe at the lengths you had to go to in order to gain your freedom. A man who wass willing to live, sacrifice or die for what he truly believed in. I wanted to consider you a hero, but unfortunately, other disturbing information has come to light.

A bit of Panaphobia
Like so many others here, there and everywhere, the innate ability to share my personal life is not one of my best traits. I will circumvent the topic and settle on writing a story completely in abstract. Life is made up of choices, we wade into the fray each in our own way.

Tomatoes like love letters too!
My dearest Tomato, How are you! I hope this letter finds you in fine form today, and that the weather is to your liking. I know that maintaining your lovely orange/pink/red/yellow supple skin, your juicy wet seedy tender interior of deliciousness, perfectly enclosed within your delicate wonderfulness, is not an easy task.

"Itadakimasu''
"ITADAKIMASU", "I HUMBLY RECEIVE". This transformative beautiful phrase and premise, when incorporated into the day to day little interactions and large connections within our lived lives, makes us pause to ponder on life. So thus allowing grace, beauty, kindness and the desire to preserve and care for the earth and each other to flourish. The Japanese have long perfected this art, and I have the utmost respect for their way of life.
