No matter where you go, you’ll find it. In whichever restaurant you dine, it will be there too, perched atop every table. You see, here in Peru every table not only has the standard red, white and yellow bottles half filled with ketchup, mustard or mayonnaise, but accompanying this triplet is the glorious green bottle. This magical green bottle is filled with an uber tasty aji sauce (a slightly spicy sauce usually made from yellow peppers). Any meal can always be dressed up with aji sauce. Sure the food is good without it, but drizzle a little aji on your food and the world is a better place.
Just the other day while happily chewing on the standard white rice, converted to the tasty side by aji, I was struck with an epiphany. Life can be a lot like food and God like the aji. We can live our life day to day and do alright. Our lives have a little bit of flavor, but then one day God comes along. All of the sudden our lives are bursting with flavor and spice. Looking back we can see that we were just living, but now, with aji, we are alive. Never again will we want to go back to plain old rice, we will be continuously seeking the aji. Once you’ve tasted life with God, you’ll be seeking him for the rest of your life. So drizzle on the aji and let your life come alive.
