“Every Movement”
I rarely let the word “No” escape
From my mouth
Because it is so plain to my soul
That God has shouted, “Yes! Yes! Yes!”
To every luminous movement in Existence.

Learn that first evidence of this “alligator pear” was found in a Mexican cave around 10,000 B.C.
Recall that Pearl Jam’s 2006 release was known as “The Avocado Album.”
Discover that Avocado, California is an ‘unincorporated community’ located very near my own hometown.
Give thanks to the tree just down the hill, which provides our family about one fallen avocado a day, as long as we get there before the chickens.
