During my very intense prayer session however brief, a distinct feeling that pure orange everything is good for healing?  Orange neroli is what I have in mind, of the utmost heady intoxicating sensory happiness.  A vision of orange satsuma oranges to blood oranges and even the Buddha sculpture oddity of a grapefruit nature did  not come to me as a cure fer what ails ya!  I know that this makes no sense. I have this strange feeling orange attars to orange music has someones name on it!  I also had a flood of lavender magical haunting soulfulness scent the mind like two streams of light.  I don’t know if it means anything.  But!  I just think this simple recipe sounds good!  Orange Chicken stir-fry.  Broccoli already is immensely healing so I cook it constantly. Pretty soon I am going to have a green cruciferous afro with garlic earrings! I am back to health after being seduced by sexy music all day.  Seems like it’s so trivial but who cares.  Music is one of the greatest pleasures.

UNE ROSE CHYPRÉE ET UN PAPILLON MAGNIFIQUE

There’s nothing like a flowery fragrance review to make you vow never to touch the stuff for the rest of your life, so I’ll spare you, but it is a sacrifice.
