Onions

Has it ever occurred to you how 'alive' foods are in their pure form? That they are living, respiring, full of vibration and packed with energy bundles like we are? Each item is a being of pure light. When I am preparing vegetables to eat, I often see various characteristics in them which are similar to what you might find in people. Today, I encountered the Onion in an interesting way. An onion has so much complexity with its spiraling nature. And while you try to dive into it by cutting it with a knife, you realize once again that its juices cause your eyes to burn and sting. Very insidious. Some onions are more intense than others. However, their beauty and intrigue keep you going, the mystery of its circular nature keeps you in the trance of cutting every which way until they are ready to be released in one fell swoop into the bed of frying pan. In the presence of the gentle flame, their eye-stinging beauty becomes mellow and sweet. The magnificent onion reminds me of a bittersweet grandmother.
