"Life is like an onion. You peel it off one layer at a time, and sometimes you weep.' - Carl Sandberg.
Now isn't that the truth!
Just when you think that you have skinned and peeled as much as you think is humanely possible - off comes another layer of personal vulnerability.
Sometimes bad things happen!
Then,
over time the pain is peeled away very slowly.
Bit by bit the flesh is exposed.
The fumes of disappointment make us cry.
Sometimes it takes our breath away.
The heart ... our heart is carefully revealed.
And,
when all this peeling is finished,
that fleshy part is added to a dish.
It is fried up and seasoned.
Finally,
it is mixed in and combined to the other ingredients.
Delicious and unique flavours begin to emerge.
The simmering compliments and adds to the aromas.
The taste is sensational ... you are sensational!
No matter what has happened to you
or where you find yourself today,
there is hope ... a hope for your future.
All your experiences make you who you are.
Use what you have to bring out your best!
Flavour the world with the delectable you.

Such hope in this post -- I love your last quote about the pain of staying the same verses participating in change. Even though refining can hurt, the gold is beautiful after being rid of impurities!
Oh, how I do hate change! Your post is an inspiration, though, to embrace it. Thanks!
