Pat You ask about my definition of fruitarianism Quite difficult because I don't care about definition and feel too rebel to stay in it - let says that at noon I eat tomatoes, avocado, cucumber, what I call vegetable-fruits and at seven I eat fruits (Durians have my preference since many months). Also it is never really noon or seven when I eat because I listen to my feelings. During weeks, I can eat cassia in the morning but never eat cassia a full year - boring or not enough "light" for attracting me. From time to time, I can choose also green salad and vegetable like celery at noon (they are not fruits) but always with fruit-vegetable. I stopped to eat grains, seeds and sprouts during the last 8 years, starting the process with grains or cereals. It can happens that I eat sprouts once or twice a year. I take care of my energy body, using several process to clean it. I enjoy meditation and laughters. That is my way to feel good, alert and aware. I know that it is a "blessing" to be near montrame because I can have the best "exotic" fruits available in France. I have a garden and an orchard and like taking care of them. Also I don't expect others to understand or follow my way, but if I can help them to follow their own way, learning from inside and dropping everything others can say about foods - and the rest, I am ok to share. Silence is the best way for the real understanding; in silence, you can understand or not; with words, there is always a place for misunderstanding and you may "think" that you have understood. But I agree that silence is not for internet and such list. I love "paradox" in my life. Harmony, urwana
