I am waiting for the avocados to ripen just enough…but not too much. The perfect window time for eating an avocado is miniscule; therefore, one must show this fruit a great deal of attentiveness and endurance. After all, they have traveled a long journey—but then again, the journey is long for us too. Why then, do we endure? Perhaps under the skin of these expensive, imported, popular, rich in fiber, potassium, healthy fats fruits, lies the perfect window we are so anxious to cut open. Yet, until then, It’s best to leave them alone, sitting in a corner—with the only exception of touching the skin with a gentlest squeeze. It might take a few days, but when it’s ready…it’s ready, and if you aren’t ready, well…that window will close.
