Such an amazing way to view things!

So very beautiful!

One of the many things you’ve done for me from across the distance, is to help me try to “see” that there is always MORE than meets the eye. For instance, I sometimes get hung up on females being ascribed a “role” subordinate to males [I am a female] – in a culture that says an “Eve” ate “forbidden fruit” and all humankind has suffered ever since because the hombre [Red Clay Man] fell out with the ONE creator of both partners. Being a “noodge” [a pain in the butt], I read the Judeo-Christian book many times trying to make sense of how the female in Chapter One of Genesis [then an equal of the male mate] got rewritten into Adam’s Arm Candy, suddenly brainless and uber-docile. Some sources say that the first female partner was named “Lilith” and got banished because her mind was even “perkier” than her boobs. So, to the moon, bitchy old Lilith! But much like the story of Ceres-Persephone the planet called Earth slid DOWNWARD into Winter while the beloved daughter of Mother Earth slept with the Hombre of the hellfire until the planet Earth could RISE out of the bed of winter darkness and head back toward the Vernal equinox and Mother Ceres.
As this “Fruit of the Womb” story got passed down, it was made to read as if females were neglectful of “duty” because Mother Earth’s grief supposedly got in the way of her duty and she neglected her MANY beloved creations while her “fave” was wintering in the lusty embrace of Hades’ warmth. From the Temperate Zone atop the planet, I have observed that Mother Earth sent many an “apple” UNDERGROUND to her beloved daughter. The French call the Apple that’s above ground a Pomme or Apple and the Potato a “Pomme de Terre” [“Apple of the Earth”]. Even UNDERGROUND Apples of the Earth come in a rainbow of colors: Red Potatoes/Rust or Orange Potatoes [sometimes called Russet]/Yellow Potatoes/there are even Purple Potatoes and Green Potatoes though sometimes Green Potatoes are not for consumption and you’ll end up CHUCKING though you’re NOT really a “ruminant!
You, Rick Hanson, always help me to calm down and consider what I’m likely to swallow WHOLE and on IMPULSE. To reassure me that YES I can have a pomodoro [golden apple in Italian] because it IS edible as an actual 14-carat golden apple would NOT be! Also, to trust that Mother Earth really puts her whole HEART into caring for her kids – ALL OF THEM! – which MAY BE WHY our planet was once a “lobate spheroid” [upside down heart for a time]. But if this story creates conflict instead of comfort for you, you can BURY it instead of PEEL and EAT it. If you let things “rot” or “ferment” you might even catch a glimpse of why the pachyderms were trumpeting and rolling around in fallen apples. “High” is more than a measure of the length of your legs.

Very helpful información thanks
