Tomatos

I was driving in a car with a woman that I didn’t know. I believe that we were leaving a party or some sort of function. She was not driving very well and at some point veered off the road but managed to not kill us. She was talking about tomatos and how she was buying this very particular type of tomato that had been treated a special way to prevent sickness and disease. It simply was that the tomato was left with the stem attached and that stem was heated with fire until it turned yellow. Somehow, this caused the tomato to become cleansed. I didn’t understand how this was possible so, as we drove up this road, I suggested that we stop at this upcoming farm.

When we got there, there was a line of people. I saw Larry and Angela standing in line so I went up to ask them if they’d heard of such a thing. Angela didn’t but introduced me to the woman behind her who was some sort of vegetable expert. As it turned out, they were standing in line because they were waiting for darshan from this guru who was speaking. There was a crowd of people sitting and listening to him and what was going on. I read his name but didn’t understand it when it was spoken too me. I think it was Lakshmi, but I’m not sure. The tomato seemed to drift away from the conversation as we spoke of this Indian philosophy but I don’t remember any more.
