ONION

is the onion mixture a cure-all..?
I mean I've got this blister on my heel..:)

I really like the images you put
in my head...

That's no onion it's a bunion!

This is quite pleasing to the both the inner eye and ear. Its momentary, but has depth. Excellent work Whale.

Thanks DPW - if we can but catch that moment

this piece made think, that as there are the many layers to the onion.....so are there many facets to our lives.....

and if this speaks of your life, mo Chara, then you seem to be one who lives by simple desires....simple needs....and simple satisfactions!

These qualities (facets) are soo truly admirable.....Perhaps, even envied, by some.

I am inspired by your ink--indeed!

I envy the state as well dear enchantress - we seek it here we seek it there then it suddenly comes upon us... Then as suddenly disappears :)

You've traveled the road less traveled and came home to find that the treasure was right in your backyard.

Yes Vee - the bluebird of happiness

paradise found in the kitchen, even in Virginia. delectable...

Thanks JF - food for thought, I hope

I love the layers of this ... It's like a sweet onion ... cebolla roja!

I enjoyed the subtleties of the day and how you transitioned into something larger

Bravo!

Thanks Lobo really glad you enjoyed - the core of the onion is always there

Being content with now, and with what one has in the moment enables immense blessings through gratitude.
Beautiful imagery. Especially the sun on the porch, and the making something from nothing.  

Yes it's an incredible realisation that we have to keep on keep on realising

Its the little things that find us when we're at our lowest, it seems- to remind us, if nothing else, of the simplest of joys we find in this world, such as you've described in the act of cooking. Its amazing, isn't it? Creating something out of nothing. You never know you'll have enough to make something until you step out and try.

This is a wonderful piece. Thanks for sharing!

Thank you scarlet - it's the little things :)

Someone once told me "life is just how you look at it".  This made me think of that.  Focus on the positives, and your life will be positive too.  Enjoyable read.

I agree Michael - it's a choice (hard it sometimes is) that we can make
