The artichoke’s prickly exterior hides not only a startlingly rich purple inside, but also a tender heart.
What beautiful thing inside you is not often visible?
One thought on “The Heart of an Artichoke”
An inside “beautiful thing”? Well, not sure it’s beautiful but it’s there to utilize and to put forth. There are times when I have (what I think) is a stupendous idea to propose to another person or to a group. This may follow a conversation or a discussion by the whole. If the idea is a radical one, I can see many possibilities that the other or the group may find not pertinent or one to consider. I feel it worthy of consideration; I have a fertile imagination and some of the ideas I present are not in line with the general flow. Sometimes there is enough agreement so that the idea is put into the collection to be considered. Sometimes it is not considered ad tossed. Although I think it worth considering, I accept that and go with the flow and a final decision that may be made. For some reason (which I have yet to fathom) many times other appear to think that I am not willing to accept the other decision. This is not true; I am a
compromiser. I just need to remember that I will still offer my ideas and expect that another result may be the one that is the majority vote.
