I love that onions inspired such a thoughtful reflection and contemplation. I’ve had similar experiences with food. I especially appreciated that there’s that part of you that wants to just go away and head to the mountains to seek enlightenment, while another part of you still has some unfinished work to do here with us secular folk. Thanks for writing!
P.S. That quote by Robin Sharma was told to me by my English teacher in high school, and every so often it just pops in my head. Thanks for ringing the bell again.
