Cycling up the back roads towards Munnar.
Red and yellow fruits that look like peppers are scattered all over the road. They're cashew fruits, with the less ripe fruits and nuts hanging up above. Mixed in with the cashew trees are avocado, once I noticed one I noticed many, filling the trees. Jackfruit are there as well, so large and numerous that it seems unlikely that they could remain hanging. Sweet coconut and banana fill in the remaining gaps.
A forest of diversity and abundance lining the road. Providing nourishment to our bodies, cleansing the air we breather, holding together the soil and retaining water, and providing a home and comfort for many. Taking relatively little while giving so much.
A lesson in give and take, balance, and community.
Thank you trees! :)
