“Most of us are not so strong. What is humor compared to a woman's love? What is duty against the feel of a newborn son in your arms? Or the memory of a brother's smile? Wind and words. We are only human, and the gods have fashioned us for love. That is our great glory and our great tragedy.” 

― George R.R. Martin, A Game of Thrones

“We are all visitors to this time, this place.

We are just passing through.

Our purpose here is to observe, to learn, to grow, to love… and then,

We return home.”

Nopal

-  iPhoneography  -

Nopal (also known as the Prickly Pear cactus) is from the Opuntia family. There are approximately one hundred and fourteen known species endemic to Mexico. They are particularly common in their native Mexico where the plant is a common ingredient in numerous Mexican cuisine dishes in which it can be eaten raw or cooked. It can be used in marmalades, soups stews and salads, as well as being used for traditional medicine or as fodder for animals. Farmed nopales are most often of the species Opuntia ficus-indica, although the pads of almost all Opuntia species are edible. The other part of the nopal cactus that is edible is the fruit called the tuna or more commonly known in the United States as Prickly Pear. [Wiki]

and I for one must be content to remain an agnostic.
