there's something unusual about touching an aloe vera. it's peculiarly uncanny and quite disturbing to feel the sharp edges of the leaf, all these pointy dents triggered this weird sensation that i could feel running through my fingers and all over my body. it is funny how such an ordinary body of life can cause so much sensitivity.

how many years can you see in this picture?
how long did it take for these roots to grow like this?
how much life?
how many stories?
how many footsteps, how many ants, how many birds have been here?
how many leaves, how much rain has fallen in this exact spot?

how can nature be so beautiful and grandeur, so effortlessly?

there's nothing like the smell of fresh basil. it's unique scent is so powerful, just by touching the leaves it contaminates the environment. i take deep breaths and fell all of its freshness and life.

i picked a couple blackberries from the vine. they were more like redberries because they weren't ripe enough, so they tasted kind of sour. nonetheless, they still tasted fresh and alive. there is something about growing and/or harvesting your own food that makes it more special. knowing how they grew and how they were taken care of, makes the connection with the food a lot more meaningful.
