The smell of bitter almonds might portend the flavor of a speedy death. Cyanide is present in bitter almonds and quite a few other morsels we ingest and it’s many a murder mystery that the detective discovers the scent of over a corpse.
My life has had that scent waft stimulate my olfactory nerves. Some I have paid attention to some I have ignored still others I saw as the incentive to move forward against my better judgment and my intuition. Now I listen to the angels that my Higher Power sends each morning I awake because there is no scent only the invisible hand that caresses my shoulder and gives me the direction on my compass. The sense of smell is a powerful aphrodisiac but the hand of God trumps the scent of bitter almonds every time.
