True Colors

an orange betrays its true colors GREEN when immature, its namesake when "ripe" an apple, hides its true flavors Green when "green" but from red passion to yellow lies

Anil Anil Anil - Wow and wow again. Is there a message behind the message and thoughts because I found this powerful with much thought as we readers think of life and its comparison with the colors and flavors of fruit. Nicely expressed. May this day find you safe and well. And yes, shalom shalom and shalom again.

Glad I checked here again on PS. No soup mail ... maybe I turned it off? Sorry and shalom, shalom, shalom! I had no computer and/or service (internet) for many months. Got used to a quiet life except for the hubBUB of Church (not immune from the inclination to sin/disobey Jesus. Best!

I love orange and green, also like how you say apples hide their true flavor, until their red passion shows!
