Close up shot of the 5 litre bottle of natural holy water*
I was craving noix de coco ('coconuts' in French) though, so I went to the vendor who sells near to the plant place across the road from HiLo. The 5 litre bottle that my vendor sells for $60 is $75 from this other vendor. I bought it anyway, because I wanted it.
While he was cutting nuts, I asked him to also give me some jelly to eat.
He cut the first jelly nut, broke it open and thrust it at me, saying: "Here! Take dis an' eat!"
It sounded like Holy Communion where they give the 'bread' and say: "Take this and eat in remembrance of me."
It is true. I never thought of it that way before. We are partaking in Raw Communion when we eat and drink from the cup of life that is a coconut.

I really miss coconut water and jelly! Sometime we find it here at the Asian epiceries, brought in from Thailand or Vietnam, but it just isn't the same as the fresh stuff!!
