Mint of Love

Hybrid mint, in fact, is the Mentha x

piperita; cross between watermint

and spearmint is our loved, prized peppermint.

I love Peppermint and it shows me her

love in return, calming my suffering

and pain, making baths moments of heaven,

soothing digestive arguments, changing

tea into a remedy, declaring

itself a physician, a friend, but I’m

in love with Mentha x piperita;

she’s in love with the world. What can I do

against the world? Peppermint is right. Isn’t

she? Shouldn’t we love the whole world? Not

only our little big piece of heaven!
