The history of chocolate is an amazing one, dating back over 3000 years to the Aztec and Maya Indians of Central America, most notably, Mexico. They enjoyed a drink called "xocolatl" or "chocolatl," meaning "bitter drink" or "bitter water," that was made from cocoa beans. This beverage was consumed at special occasions with the belief that the beans were a gift sown on earth by the gods and endowed wisdom if eaten. The beans themselves were also valued as a currency; slaves could be bought and sold for 100 cocoa beans!

Chocolat

Always, I think, I am grateful. In my mind, I follow my chocolate to its beginnings. I see a drop of rain touching red soil, and beneath, a seed waking. Leaves reaching for sifted sunlight. Careful, sure hands unclasping fruit from limbs. A kind donkey pulling a laden wagen. Wise faces bent over an ocean of seeds, summoning sweet from bitter. Roads and rivers and cunning machines that bear the chocolate to me. Someone built that wagon; someone cut that road; someone labored under a beaded brow; someone heeded an inspiration; someone offered love. How wonderful is a world that brings such gifts.
