Description
Lemons and pie is a painting that indicated summer. Youthfulness and vibrancy. Spring comes around and there is a flourish of activity that indicates it's time. It's time. This time it means we are past regrowth and newness, and we are ready to settle down. The fragrances are mature, and the citrus crosses from pure tartness into sweet-sour. A mixture as old as life itself. One of power and deception where it's appropriate but we do not lie to each other. The acidity and tarnishes is coated with sweetness and purity. Neither can become the spent force over each other. It is about being a tortured soul.
How does all this tie together? The pie comes out of the oven bubbling and caramelized, and it is placed aside to cool like the very universe we are in. The gooeyness is akin to the dark fabric of our cosmos, strings of the universe stretch into sweetness of the cooling peach and lemon pie. It's tartness and sweetness ever present in ever bite.
Bites that give us summer. The warmth and golden rays of the sun. The running through soft grass, and warm breezes. The loaminess of the earth, and the glistening of the morning dew that evaporates just as the sun rises over the crust of the earth. The sharing of a slice gives way to relationships and deepening roots. The same as the lemon tree roots that gave life to this pie, and citrus fragrances. A pie that symbolize life itself. The sun shines on it in the evening and the next day it is there for us to enjoy in our breakfast. The scent of the lemon fills the air, and reminds us that we must be grateful for what we have while we can. We know the seasons will turn again, and then we can look back on the days we've had here. The summer is now. But it won't last forever. The pie is a symbol of life, and the pie has the capacity to make everything around it more vibrant, and to let it become something special. That is why I would choose a slice of this pie any day, or better yet, a whole pie!
The philosophy of it is simple: life is short and we should enjoy every bite of it while it lasts. The lemons share in that philosophy via their scent. The peaches are another aspect. Their sweetness can also represent the fleeting nature of youth. We should eat well while we have the chance because tomorrow is not promised. As we age, we can lose our teeth. This pie will always taste delicious, no matter how many years pass by. And it can be passed from person to person with each mouthful. It is a constant reminder that we should be grateful for all that we have been given while we have it. There will never be anything sweeter than a slice of lemon and peach pie.
These are my impressions: The pie's and lemons don't really need us, it is we that needs them.
