There's Lots To Chew On About Apples

SWEET or bitter, its forebearer playing a prominent role in a biblical story about creation, the unblemished and apparently carefully selected rosy red apple somehow fell to the ground unbitten.

I was taught “an apple a day keeps the doctor away” and although I’m not sure that's true, there's much to chew on about this famous fruit as I get to its core in an earlier post HERE.

It's no wonder that Apple is the clever name of choice for a multinational corporation specializing in electronics such as the iPhone that could be resting in your hand right now. Nor is it surprising that a well-polished apple was once the gift students gave their teachers to show appreciation.

The Unicorn Chase

Don't give up on your dreams or your dreams will give up on you. J. Wooden

Enlightenment can be found on the path to fulfilling one's possibilities and purpose.

That's why the cloud-bound unicorn on my shopping bag tells anyone who sees it to follow their dreams.

Even a bag full of dreams unrealized can awaken new creative sparks, if pursued with resolve and passion.
