The Apple

Today I thought of a conception of the thought life as an apple. The outside skin is just the appearance and doesn't necessarily reflect the inner condition. The flesh is the place where decisions, judgements, and ambitions happen, they are based on the core. The core is the set of values, ideals, and desires. The seeds are the core motives, instincts, and feelings. The stem comes from the source and sustenance of the apple, it has a direct connection to the core.

When the fruit is separated from the tree it retains it's ripeness for a short time but eventually withers and rots.

When I choose to be self reliant I choose to separate the apple from the tree.

Thank God that he allowed me to reconnect it.
