Under the spines, under the skin, past the defenses is the sweet, purple flesh and juice. Providing nourishment in the harsh desert climate, and providing a delicious beginning to our monthly theme of cacti.
How can you appreciate the prickly pear today?
We will return to our previously scheduled April theme of “Community” tomorrow. Enjoy the actual spiritual gifts of the prickly pear along with our April 1 humor.
Too funny! I bought a “looks dead” small barrel cactus to see what would grow in my new apartment window. It has seemed to be dormant somewhat but with a little spring reorganizing on the plant shelves I realized it’s doubled in size. We grow when we feel protected by ourself? You have inspired me to further meditate on this prickly subject.
