fruit


There’s another self inside yourself. Another you

Like the core of a fruit

The flesh of the fruit is plump, juicy, sweet, filling, refreshing

The core is hard, coarse, inedible. A stone to be thrown away

and discarded. A seemingly dead thing, with a perfect tree inside it.

But the bitter stone is as much the fruit, as the sweet, nourishing flesh

It is the soul

The base

The beginning

The root

Without it there is no sweetness, or juice

There is no fruit  

There is no flesh
