Life is like an onion
There are many layers to it
It stimulates our senses
It can be put to good use
It can make us weep
Some say there’s a right way to cut it
I disagree
Its ours to do with as we choose.

I love onions – I add them to almost everything. I used to eat peanut butter and onion sandwiches even! When I was little I ate onions like apples.

Great illustration Val. I suppose the secret is the way we negotiate and peel those those layers away and get down to the heart of it. 🙂

You know Donkey described Shrek as an onion in the first Shrek movie. I’ve always liked that analogy.

Of yes, the bitter-sweetness of onions. They make us cry but they sure do spice up every meal.

This blog came to life one morning in 2013. I woke up with these words in my mind: “Life is a series of highs and lows. Be grateful for the highs. Be graceful in the lows. And find contentment in your Middle Ground.”
Find Your Middle Ground blog started to explore, reflect, ask deep questions, share insights about awakening, and connect with wonderful people like yourself. Thank you for being here and being such an inspiration.
