An apple falls to ground from an old apple tree and it has no wish to be an orange or a pear or red when it is green or green when it is red because little apples that fall from apple trees know they simply are what they’re meant to be. They do not land with a thud in the middle of a pool of mixed up DNA and crossed personalities untutored in the art of reaching solid ground and unschooled in the means of reinventing themselves. They simply lie there quietly waiting for the hand of fate to ravenously bite and chew from the outer in and haphazardly and unconcernedly throw the core away. There must be a moral to the story of an apple but words of wisdom fail when I’m in a pool trying desperately to reach a solid base while knowing that the hand of fate treats everything and everyone with the same degree of … taste!

Helen dear, you are too much! This is a philosophical lesson with a touch of humor. Enjoyed it much! Imitate the apple and BE! LET GO AND LET GOD! Love and hugs, Margherita   "Love is the One who masters all things; |

Thanks everyone. I have a few more apples in my fruit basket but I'd rather eat a pear! There's a time and a circumstance when the hard and inflexible is necessary but my choice now is to flow gently down the river of tender and succulent delights.  Helen |
