The Mango Tree

Hey All, I found this old draft from over a year ago and thought I would post it. Pretty kewl.

I woke up about an hour ago, 6:30 am on Saturday morning August 11th. I started to prepare the press pot with coffee and decided to call mom on the east coast. She was sitting on the deck with a cup of tea enjoying a beautiful morning in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. I got some pointer's from the Master Baker, because today I will create a carrot cake for my dear friend Ryan as he turns 31 on Monday. Today is a gorgeous day and even though overcast clouds fill the sky it is actually very enjoyable. The damp air is a soothing smell and reminds me of the air in Hawaii. In fact the mango's at the market lately have been oh so perfectly ripe. I can remember being on the island of Kauai back in the Kalalau valley with an endless supply of ripe mangos! My latest smoothie requires 2 large, perfectly ripe mango's and a bunch of organic parsley. Peeling the mango with complete ease and putting it in the blender sparked a truth. Life can be effortless flowing if you allow it. Every moment of every day can be like peeling a perfectly ripe mango. Just Be. And Be Worthy.
