"Strawberries are too delicate to be picked by machine. The perfectly ripe ones
bruise even at too heavy a human touch. Every strawberry you have ever eaten has
been picked by callused human hands. Every piece of toast with jelly represents
someone's knees, someone's aching backs and hips, someone with a bandanna on her
wrist to wipe away the sweat." —Alison Luterman, quoted in *After the Ecstasy,
the Laundry,* by Jack Kornfield

I pulled this off of Rob Brezsny's weekly FreeWill Astrology Newsletter today.

Strawberry shortcake is one of my favorites. My mother made it lots when I was growing up. Or strawberries dipped in grand marnier and sweetened sourcream or cream fraiche. But the, just that plain sweet sun ripened strawberry...Yum is right!
