it's a simple act, really, yet profound. my friend plucks a tomato from her garden and hands it to me and i take a bite.
it's not the kind of garden you might be envisioning, just a few bits of basil and parsley and tomatoes in between coleus and lamb's 
ear and morning glory in the front yard of her suburban home. but no matter its unlikely setting, the tomato is a rich, ripe offering from the earth.
the juicy bite is hot, still resonating with the brilliance of the sun, and i suddenly realize i have just taken in light.
tell me, can anything i buy in a supermarket give me this?
