Picking Vitamin C

I caught a cold while i was on retreat, so, flying home, i kept drinking water and dozing. After i picked up my car, i drank a bottle of HonestTea and a can of seltzer water. By the time i reached the Vermont Welcome Center on Interstate 91, i was really ready for a bathroom break.



The Vermont Welcome Center is beautifully landscaped, and the "islands" that separate the parking lot from the driveway were filled with the rose hips of Rosa rugosa gleaming red in the sun. I picked a handful on my way in, and another handful on my way out.

Rose hips are quite sweet. They are also extremely seedy. But i was desperate for Vitamin C, and, hey, those little seeds are good "intestinal brooms."

Do you take daily vitamins? Meditation is our Vitamin M.
And the prescription: Take one daily.

Yes, meditation can be a little seedy, and it can be a little bit sweet. But we all know, it's really good for you.
