Life is an onion at times: it is not as simple as the exterior. Rust brown, white, yellow, purple. All so different. A beautiful bulbous vegetable. Firm, fragrant, and oh my so versatile.

But the flaky, smooth exterior belies the inner core that may bring tears to your eyes and immense pleasure to the palate.

We need to take the time to appreciate the onion. Get to know it and slowly peel it back. Understand how it may work best with what we desire, and how flexible it can be too. Raw or cooked, alone or an accompaniment.

Is this not life and relationships? Do we not need to take the time to peel layers back and appreciate how others may fit into our life? When we do, we may appreciate their versatility far more, and see beyond the initial reactions we may experience.

It is versatile, are we open to its nuances?
