Someone was the first person to say, “Life is a bowl of cherries.”
W.C. Fields is quoted as saying, “Life is a bowl of pits.”
Perhaps they are both right, in that life is a vast bowl of seeds, each moment being a seed for the future.
The context – the covering – of the seed may be beautiful and delicious or it may be ugly and distasteful. Covered or not, there is a seed in each moment. We can just throw it away. Or we can do our best to appreciate its potential and to use it in the way that seems most likely to bear the sweet fruit of love, growth and contribution.
