Another great pick! Hey, jinx! I just posted a peach piece on tumblr. Happy Holidays, exceptindreams! And Happy New Year!

I found some parts of this a bit too whimsical, but I really liked the peach and tomato verses, the last line, and this: But the discipline of blessings is to taste/each moment, the bitter, the sour, the sweet/and the salty, and be glad for what does not/hurt. I think it's something I needed to read.
