Revolution


 "The day is coming when a single carrot, freshly observed, will set off a revolution."

                                                                                                       -painter Paul Cezanne



"Mama! I can smell the carrots!"

We were harvesting in the rain, I was muddy and sopping and plunging a pitchfork into the earth as she pulled them out by the handful. Her enthusiasm brought me to my senses.

Suddenly I realized that some revolutions happen quietly...in the midst of a crowd of two.
