INSIDE THE BELL PEPPER MANDALA |
Contents of the New Paradigm Oracle |

On the cutting board there is a four-sided balance The child wonders, "Are there any square fruits or vegetables?" The mother doesn't think so. "Well salt crystals are square under a microscope but then they're not alive." "There are not any triangles either?" "Probably not. The shape of life is round." "But almonds are oval with a point on the end-- like rounded-off torpedoes?" "That's not geometric! They're seeds They have to grow!" "Oh, the point drops in so they can grow--like little missiles?" "There aren't any geometric shapes in growing things except the circle, no squares, no triangles." "And the fruits are round to roll around away from the tree... a square fruit or vegetable couldn't roll. All of life is round?" "Yes round like the earth to match going round the sun." |
