Guava (PHOTOGRAPHY)

Since I was out of milk this morning I raided my "Canned Goods" section and poured out a glop of guavas into a plate. So I'm sitting there and I raise one of the guavas on my spoon and I suddenly see the beauty and fragility right there...in the fragile tissues...the shining fleshy eye of guava flesh. There is something immediately foetus like about it, and even alien. This is life on earth. And then I ate it, human teeth gnashing the cool soft sweet tissues, transparent yellow-tinged juice swilling like amniotic fluid in the bowl. This was a picture of the human condition, from the point of view of Nature, in all her forms.
