Are we an onion?

Just like a onion you say? Why an onion? Well have you ever compared an onion to your self I say?

Just like an onion we come in many colors and sizes, you have white ones, brown ones, red ones, yellow ones and green ones.  Do we not come in many colors and sizes. 

Just like an onion we have a hard exterior and if peeled back release moisture, layer by layer.  Does an onion not have a hard exterior on the outside and soft ones that release moisture too.  

Turn an onion one way, it has a tuff on top the other way it is bald.  Are we not mix of some with tuffs or bald just like an onion. 

Just like an onion if you peeled back the layers you will find the heart.  The heart is solid and the core of the onion.  Is our heart not the core to our many layers of skin and of our self being. 

Just like an onion we often wear a jacket to protect us from the harsh environment.  And sometimes we add layers to protect our core.  Peel off our layers  are we not as naked as the onion we just peeled.

Just like an onion it will sprout life to reproduce from it’s core. Life will also shoot from some of us to form more life around us.

Just like an onion we can be used in so many ways. We like to bake under the golden rays, simmer and steam in the sauna, boil our bodies in the hot bath.  If we drink too much are we not called pickled or canes not get in a pickle. 

Just like an onion we build layers of resilience as we grow.  Expanding ourself as we indulge, growing wider in our Centre’s. 

Just like an onion …… Are we a onion?
