          When you hold an apple know this, it is more than what you see.  Eating the apple will nourish you with its delicious fruit.  But it is time for you to see more.  Within the apple is the promise of perpetuity, the promise of life, continuing life.  The spirit of the apple is at its core.  The skin, the peel, of the apple, can be cut away.  The flesh you can eat, or slice, away and it will sate your hunger.  But the promise of life is hidden deep within, beyond the flesh, beyond the skin.  The seeds of life are held, within.  The apple holds the promise of life beyond what you first see.  The seeds are the promise of eternity.  It is the same with you.  Deep within you, at the core of your being, there is the promise of more, of eternal life.

 And The Holy Spirit says:

           Do not be satisfied by outer appearances.  Go beyond the obvious.  Go to the core and you will find seeds which hold the promise of life, of more.
