When I was a kid apples were a love in my life. I loved apples, especially granny smith. I was the apple kid, Lisa was the banana kid. We were opposites that day. In that vein, when I got a little bit older I made a comic about superhero fruit, the banana was the main character and the apple was the sidekick. I don't remember what I named them now, or even what sorts of situations I put them into, but I remember their creation. I don't think my grandpa had an apple tree, or if he did I don't remember. I do recall Aunt Tia and Uncle Tio having an apple tree in Kansas though. Tia would make us three kids pick up the apples and put them into baskets for her and she would then make all kinds of treats with them. They were small green apples.
I'm pretty sure that for a decent portion of my childhood apples saved my teeth. I've never been too great about dental hygiene, but for the longest time I had great reports from the dentist, and I attribute it to apples. There are all kinds of reasons apples are (mostly) good for teeth, it'd be worth looking up. They say "an apple a day keeps the doctor away," but I'm pretty sure they meant dentist.
For a pretty long time, though, I fell out of eating apples. Not altogether, but I rarely had "just" an apple. Well that's changed recently, and I think it's pretty significant.
Over the last couple of weeks I have been really craving apples. Besides that, Sam has also started a little inkling for them growing. Then today Byron accepted an apple for lunch from a friend (which is strange because Byron isn't partial to apples). I feel like there is an important place in our lives right now of which Apples need to be a part. Like with other energies, there is a specific feeling to the energy of apples. It seems like there is a connection with loss of trust and rebuilding that, at least according to some.
That seems all too apt for the leg of the journey this family is on at the moment. I'm going to call the Apple a spirit helper or something akin for the time being. I might be wrong, I'm not too sure what I'm talking about when it comes to energies and spirits, but something just feels right about this. I'm very thankful to have Apple Magic in my life right now, in the life of this family.
