A letter of introduction.
A letter of introduction. Friend of a friend? A good friend says, "You must meet her." The recommendation comes from someone I really like, trust. Okay, but where to begin? What common ground to open with? I just started writing. The results were interesting. It came out well and was fun. It follow: I barely know where to start. In truth, I don't. A single seed in a farmer's bag may be worthless because what will it become? Seeds often look the same. Ah! An apple seed! I'll bet you didn't know,,,,,,,,,,Apple trees cannot be bred true. ALL apple seeds are hybrids. Apples of a name, Delicious, Gala, Braeburn, Macintosh,,,,,, each has it's origins in a single tree, a single seed. All Red Delicious apples are offspring of a single tree of more than one hundred years ago. A single tree. All Red Delicious apple trees are grafts from that one original happy accident. One tree. The seeds within a Red Delicious, there are five seed chambers, will produce five entirely different and original apple trees. Every apple on a single tree has five new species, a hundred apples on a tree, five hundred brand new never seen before varieties. Most of them are worthless. Small hard cherry sized red fruit, green fruit, yellow fruit, big and sour, medium sized and as hard as a piece of wood,,, and just about as tasty as that piece of wood. Of the five hundred new varieties there will be several that are edible,,, because seeds and new trees are spread far and wide by dung. Pretty sneaky. If not dung, then the thrown away apple core will seed the new tree. Our every road side has apple trees growing within a thrown distance. Once again, most, or nearly all, produce apples that are rubbish, hard, soft, sour, small, only good for cider, if that. So when a single seed is placed in your hand, no one can know what it will become. No one. It is a practice of faith to plant many seeds, tend, prune, water, fertilize,,, grow to maturity before you can know if any, if any at all of the thousands you've planted, tended, loved, will produce a fruit that is sweet, that stores well, hard but not too hard, attractive so that it is desired, eaten,,,, and seeds transported in fist or gut to begin the next and always experiments. And new friends are the same. All different, even if from the same tree, you can never know the where, or the when, or the whether, they may be important. I do suspect you are the tree and I have been told the fruit is sweet (awesome), and I am maybe the fertilizer (bullshit as is proved by this intro lol ). But in honesty, one can never know. It is an act of faith to say, "Hello *****, my name is Dean." Dean |

So you're saying you were blinding with brilliance or baffling with bull, Dean? You still sure do write pretty, regardless. Glad to see you pop in to Blogeritaville for a bit.
