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.
