Lemons
I love lemons! Yes, everything about them:
 their saturated color, the fragrance, shape and perhaps most of all their ability to transform.
Lemons have a universal appeal
 and are associated with a range of meanings and symbols: purity, fertility, feminine sexuality and spiritual cleansing.
The tangy scent of lemons is thought to have a purifying effect on the mind.
A lemon’s super power finds a place in homes, restaurants, spas and kitchens of every kind.
Lemons are a metaphor for life.
Starting out as a delicate white blossom, the fruit matures into a taste so strong it is said, “impossible to eat.” Sourness of lemons symbolize bitterness, disappointment or challenges in life. But transforming lemons into sweetness as with lemonade, creamy lemon meringue pie or
 Linda McCartney’s Lemon Drizzle Cake, is how life often works.
Lemons are zesty.
Too much of their strong taste can be overpowering, and too little unsatisfying.
The enjoyment I derive from lemons represents some of the comfort I feel in my life.
