" Life is an onion, you peel it off one layer at a time. And sometimes you weep."
-Carl Sandburg
I couldn't help but love this quote. Yes, I know right off the batt we may not want to say that our lives resemble an onion of all things. For reasons typically because onions are stinky, strong and sometimes can be overbareing. Yet, the way that this quote compared it I couldnt help but smile at the reality that life can sometimes be this way. Its such a mystery in each one of our lives of how our lives will really turn out or what the next layer will be like for us. When we really come down to it, how will our lives turn out like and be like when we are old when our life here on earth is on its last layer. What will we have gone through? What will we be like? Would we be the strongest at that point? Being full of knowledge, experience and wisdom? It really is true sometimes things cut down deep into us, or squirt into your face and we do weep. That is the beauty of life... the beauty of progression and getting through hard times and seeing the light and feeling relief once again. Those times where we do weep are time for patience and growth... times of humility that we will never forget. Don't we love this thing called life? Though it may resemble an onion in the end it is something so wonderful and unforgettable.
