Peaches without Pits
Posted On 07/07/2009 07:50:33 by goodfeeling_

One of my favorite fruit are peaches.  I like the furry skin and the juicy inside.  My least favorite part is the very hard pit that is deeply lodged inside.  Too bad peaches couldnt be seedless.  You know, I think our soul is alot like a peach.  The outside of the peach can change... it can be bruised, it can have spots, even different colors.  But inside, you will always find, deeply lodged, is that hard pit.  That part wont change.  As I look at my soul, I question if there is anything I can do to change my soul.  Or is my soul, my soul.  Like a peach, is there anyway of growing a peach without a pit inside.  Can we alter our souls.  Can we change who we are, deep inside.  Im not saying I would want to change my soul.........  well okay, I am.  But to what.  If I had a choice, what would it be.  If you could change a peach, and remove the inside pit, what would you replace it with.  Maybe another layer of furry skin, or maybe the inside can be a pocket of fresh, cold and sweet juice.  In the meantime, while I figure out how to get pitless peaches, I will strive to alter my soul, to become who I want to be.  To strengthen and enlighten my inner soul to recognize that beauty that lies within the realms living life.

I love how WmLee put it.


Goodfeeling,
the fuzz, skin and juice is nice.  Thats true.  But In a matter of
weeks, it rotts, and is no good anymore.  The seed however, brings
forth more fruit.  The pit to me represents faith.  It's hard.  To
many, it seems useless.  But if nutured, it can bring forth new
peaches, and new pits.  The fruit is the rewards that come from our
hard work and faith.  But we can't stop there.  We can't sit back and
enjoy our peaches.  We need to plant the new pits, to bring even MORE
fruit.  The moral of the story:  Sometimes life seems hard and
pointlesss...Like the peach pit.  But If we stay faithfull, and endure
to the end, we end up with a greater reward.

Gee GF, I'd rather be the PIT, rough, ugly, and tasteless as it is.  It's the masculine part of the peach.  The feminine part is the fruit.  Can you just imagine how nice it must be to be totally enveloped by that furry, soft, juicy, sweet, feminine fruit !!  Think it through GF.  Don't try to be so philosophical about it, and you'll agree with me.

GF ~ we can become who and whatever we want, if we commit to it.  I fight demons within every day.  I have to question the man or women who doesn't.  I am reminded of the old indian who tells of the two wolves that fight inside of him.  One is caring and looks after other wolves, he tries to help them become better fathers and suppliers to the pack.  The other takes what he can for himself and is only concerned with getting all he can to destroy the other wolf.  When asked by his son which would win he answered, "The one I feed".  


Keep your pit.  That is where you will find life.  Without the seed, there is no progression.  Now, where will you plant your seed?  By the "way side" to be devoured, in "stoney places" to find no root, left in the sun to be scorched, among thorns to be choked out, or in rich soil where it can grow and bring fruit to others?  


My brother, keep the pit, plant it with wisdom!

are you sure it's your soul that needs changing?  maybe the outside is just so battered and bruised that you only think you know what's at the center.  maybe you need to figure out what your true soul is and then work on the outside?

Good, you never cease to amaze me. I am trying to figure out why you would want to change, you're a great, great guy. And I agree on the peach thing too, lol, it would be wonderful to have a pitless peach. This is an extremely thought provoking blog. Thank you for sharing it. Now im going to go and think about what you have written here.
