To start peeling the layer on Day 5, the section I had started separating on Day 1 now opened up. The remaining piece that had held it to the onion was layer 5 and now it had to go. Reminds me of the rare times I allowed myself to feel that I was hanging on by a thin thread.
The separated inside of the top of the fifth layer also has layers within. I love the beauty of the inside of that start of the layer I will be peeling off. How complex and beautiful are the many parts of ourselves!
As I finished peeling layer 5 a whole new section of the onion was revealed!! – the two parts of it – the Ying? and Yang? – the Masculine and Feminine parts of ourselves? One larger than the other! – Ponderings for the day.
On a final note – I do not like the background of the cloth here, especially in the night light. This week’s lesson in the Photoshop Elements 6 course I’m taking is “Isolating Parts of an Image.” What synchronicity! I’m thinking I’ll use one of these photos to put the onion in a more natural background.

Dear sheila,
You are so amazing. Who else in the world would find such beauty in the common onion. I’ll never see one the same way again.
Gratefully,
