Doubtless God could have made a better berry, but doubtless God never did.
(Dr. William Butler, English physician 1535-1618)
The strawberry indeed seems to combine many positive characteristics. Not only does it have an exquisite flavor, it also possesses an irresistible shape and has a mesmerizing color. And yet it is a fruit that radiates simplicity. It does not need any specific conditions for growing and can be eaten directly after picking. It seems to have captured the sun of spring and sheds love and joy. Simple, little berry … great joy of living. You are so right, Dr. William Butler!
Strawberries and Simple Things in Life
Opening the door on a sunny morning
A spoonful of sweet vanilla custard
Cuddling up by a warm fire
The eyes of your cat telling you „I love you“
Inhaling the fragrance of exotic spices
Letting the first ray of sunshine fall on your face after a long winter
Taking a sip of tea in a relaxed moment
Stepping on a train and embarking on a journey
Tucking your teeth in unknown food
Being full of anticipation and joy when your favorite film starts
Twirling spaghetti onto your fork
Finding out you had the same thought as your friend
Eating the first strawberry in spring
