Tuesday, December 30, 2003The Taste of Strawberries
Do you remember the taste of strawberries? Wild strawberries growing along the two rut road at the edge of the field. Do you remember bending over in the sun and picking those tiny berries and eating them there on the spot? Can you remember the taste of just one exploding in your mouth and overwhelming your senses?
Do you remember them? You took me there. We walked along the dusty road in the deep shade of the Maples and Oaks until we came to that sunny spot of greenery. I remember it like yesterday, and I remember the the taste of those strawberries.

Credits:
- The first sentence is Sam to Frodo on the slopes of Mount Doom in The Return of the King movie. (In Tolkien's book it was the taste of rabbit stew.)
- The phrase,
sunny spots of greenery
is from: Coleridge's Kubla Khan. - Twenty years ago last August, my grandmother showed me were the wild strawberries grew.
