♥ Day 48 ♥ Mono Orange Juice.

Day 48 ♥

Today I was blessed with a beautiful mix of Organic Oranges: some delightful, teeny-tiny syrup balls from a wholefood store in Maroochydore, some larger Valencias from a supermarket, and some very nicely ripened delights from Maleny.

I was also blessed with some great reading matter.

I  managed to find Dick Gregory's book, 'Natural Diet for Folks Who Eat: Cookin' With Mother Nature.'

I managed to pick up a first edition from 1971 for just $7 on Ebay.

Gregory was a well known comedian who turned his health and diet right around by going from 280lbs to just 97lbs after an extended water fast.

When he wrote the book in the late 60's/early 70's Gregory was on a fruitarian diet. I saw a more recent video of him speaking out against the factory farming of chickens.

I have just started his book, and it is written in a punchy and entertaining way. A great book to introduce folk to the raw way of life by using  personal experience combined with a good sense of humour.

I did not miss eating the Figs, sure I could appreciate that they were great quality ripe Figs, but I could appreciate more the wonderful Organic  Oranges that I had yesterday.
I feel that I would like to carry on for at least 52 days, to match my longest mono Orange Juice Diet so far, back in 1995.
And hopefully, I have a big Organic order arriving tomorrow full of juicy local Oranges ♥
Life is so abundant for me, and I need to fully appreciate the beautiful abundance in my life right now!

♥ Day 40 Mono Orange Juice ♥

Day ♥40♥

Kind of a special day for me. Somehow the '40 days' holds a special significance for me.

I have often done 40 day mono diets for Lent, although many of them carried on past Lent because I was having such a good time ♥

Jesus fasted for 40 days in the wilderness, and it does seem a significant number related to a dietary period.

The last few days I have been really loving the juice. A week or so back when the Orange supply was not so good, it felt a bit challenging but now it just feels great and the 'normal' diet for me.

I do however, want at some point to try our homegrown Mangoes which are now well into their season. I may have a break of a few days to try some Mangoes, or I may just carry on.

This morning we went up to Maleny and got lots of the smaller syrupy Valencias that no one else seems to pick first, so my juice today has been sublime.

I also finished reading Tonya Zavasta's book, and started to read, 'The Orange: Golden Joy' by John Train, with photos by Mark E. Smith.

There are some amazing photos of orangeries and Orange groves.

The book looks at the history of the Orange and the Orange in art.

And includes some poems:

To His Coy One

 O Orange,

 Thou ripe and juicy Orange,

 Thou sweet and luscious Orange

 I shake the tree, I shake it,

 O fall into my lap!

           Goethe

I like how Goethe uses capitalisation to begin his fruit too ♥

I had a nice conversation today with a lady who has an Organic farm and an Organic delivery business. She grows Valencias on her farm, but they are just out of season, but good to know for next year.

I love connecting with fruit growers. She was also interested in the fruitarian diet.
