A Pomegranate in Pictures
My pomegranate tree fruited for the first time this year. Here is a little photo-essay of the experience to help remind you that the spring will return, even though we are entering the coldest days of winter.
-
- Let us get up early to the vineyards; let us see whether the vine hath budded, whether the vine-blossom be opened, and the pomegranates be in flower; there will I give thee my love.
-
- Thy shoots are a park of pomegranates, with precious fruits;
-
- Thy lips are like a thread of scarlet, and thy mouth is comely; thy temples are like a pomegranate split open behind thy veil.
-
- Why have you made us come up from Egypt, to bring us in to this wretched place? It is not a place of grain or figs or vines or pomegranates, nor is there water to drink.

-
- Then they came to the valley of Eshcol and from there cut down a branch with a single cluster of grapes; and they carried it on a pole between two {men,} with some of the pomegranates and the figs.

- a golden bell and a pomegranate, a golden bell and a pomegranate, upon the skirts of the robe round about.
-
- The pomegranate says, ” Thy lips are like a thread of scarlet, and thy mouth is comely; thy temples are like a pomegranate split open behind thy veil.”

Mini Manifesto:
Spirituality: My primary lens is progressive Jewish spirituality, but I also like to find the universal elements that connection us all.
Culture: I am fascinated by culture on most levels. I mostly focus on American culture and what makes us who we are as a country, but I'm also intrigued by sub-cultures in the USA and the growing global cultural trends.
Technology: Technology is one of the strongest drivers of cultural and even spiritual changes in the last 100 years, and possibly the next 100.
