The man and his mangoes!!!! 😭♥️ I loved that story Sam! And do not forget about bagels. Real bagels! Anytime you want! Not bread with holes… But malt boiled bagels baked and flipped… Oh and I’m pretty sure the maple trekker was me and I got way too excited!!! 😂 (is it me?! Is it me?! 😃)
I know right! Isn't that so sweet!! And yes of course you are the maple trekker Kim!! <3
Oh yeah and bagels. Definitely bagels not bread with holes! And good, fudgy, chewy, melty brownies. Idk but you but I have yet to have a good brownie in Spain. They are always like a hard cake. Not a brownie for me!!
O Sam, how Jefe just adores your writing! You express your Truth in a way that transcends authentic. You capture the very essence of living itself. More of this please!
Where Jefe is from, the Magic Fruit is: huckleberries. One of the few remaining natural berries that has yet to be commercialized 🫐 They can only be found growing in the wild areas of the Rocky Mountains 🏔️ I feel like there's a poem or two that will come from this insight. Hmm 🤔
Now, the Marketplace. A Magical Treasure Chest where people come to bring and take many forms of Golden riches. Like . . . yellow peaches, nectarines, and paraguayos! YUM!
Now, Jefe wonders, just how BIG can the Marketplace get inside this grand Universe? Maybe the size of your backyard? Or your local neighborhood? City? County? State? Country? Planet? Solar System? Galaxy? Maybe the size of your heart, expressed as words on a page?
No matter of the size, I'm pretty sure traveling to these Magical places is involved regardless of which side you find yourself on (the bringing or the taking). Become a HUMAN pollinator of kindness and experience in this life. Visit the Marketplace. Then keep on your travels, Sam. Keep on your journey.
Now, the Master Poet Hafiz, might be able to shed some Light on this age old debate too. And where Life's Truest sweetness can be found 🙏 Now, is Jefe talking about fruit, sides, or Divine Delights by making reference to Hafiz? Is there a difference, dear Sam? More of His thoughts below.
Oh man! You wrote a whole essay in that comment!! I keep coming back to it to parse out the wisdom. I feel like you're gonna have to explain that Marketplace again to me on a call sometime, still not sure I fully grasp it. My mind doesn't understand poetry well enough!
Now huckleberries...that's something I fully understand and can get behind! I'd love to try them on our future visit to Montana that will for sure happen someday!!

Great post my friend 🫶
LEAVE SOMETHING IN THE MARKETPLACE
Sometimes it can happen to these cheeks
when a poem visits my mind for the first time
and begins to look around.
They can wonder why rain is falling on them,
and causing my nose to run too.
O boy, what a mess love makes of me. But
there is nothing else right now I would rather
be doing . . . than reaping something from a
field in another dimension
and leaving it in the marketplace for any who
might happen by.
Leave something in the marketplace for us
before you leave this world.
