Oranges.

Did you ever notice how oranges come pre-sliced?

That is, if you have the patience to peel them.

When I was a little girl I thought they were manufactured that way.

I guess they were.  Just not by people.

If you take the time to examine the fruit, it really is a beautiful and intricate thing.  Hundreds of tiny membrane sacs containing the juice, packed together in separate pieces, also separated by membranes, each with a few scattered seeds.  All packaged nicely in a sphere of spongy rind, smooth and aromatic.

Quite an exquisite design.

Blessed are You, God, our Lord, King of the Universe, who creates the fruit of the tree.
